Default Predator malfunction. What is going on here?

I have had my predatoer for a year and it takes care of my tuning needs for now, however at times the scanner will freeze all current info. I have to unplug and restart the device at this point.

I don't know if "this" is common, but my stft and ltfts all go to zero at wot. I know that you read o2s at wot, but I am not sure if this is a malfunction or if this is supposed to happen with the fts. I know at idle the fts read zero until the car warms up. I am hoping that my pcm is not going into another state at wot and that why it is showing no fts at wot.

I would just like to know if any of you have had similiar issues.

Yeah, mine will freeze up too after a while-I also unplug it and restart it...I don't really care though because I don't use it to tune anymore.

Same here. I asked about it, a year or two back.
The answer was "don't worry, and it's something
that the next update will fix".

Heh.

Pretty quick now.
