oh wait, are you using rt tuner?

That's the wrong program. You need the regular program, just "Tuner".

You need to have your cable selector set on "open" The 10k is for older TPI/TBI vehicles if I remember correctly.

hmm, maybe it just has additional functionality then. should matter i guess then, I just know the realtime part is not for our cars. other than battery, or something wrong with your comp, im out of ideas.

yeah steve's car was interesting. he had le3 heads or something and the 292 xfi cam. I think he said he just sold his motor though.

and you can try your cable on my car if you want.

yeah he had a few issues with it. first the injectors were bad, then his intake was leaking, then something else. maybe that's why he sold it lol
