Default Diablosport problems....

Ok,.this is gonna be short and simple.

I have a DiabloSport Predator for a 2000 Trans Am and it just won't power up now. Went to plug it in and as soon as i did, i noticed that it didn't power up this time. Any thoughts?

Make sure your cig lighter works, it works off of the same circuit. Check the fuse, it is a 25 amper on the side of the dash on the drivers side.

I'm having problems with mine too,Rampage. Mine is showing me " Error ....Is your ingniton on ". My car starts and run fine. I just want to use the diaqnostics to clear my SES light. I plan on calling Diablosport in the morning hoping they will have some anwsers for me . Maybe you should give them a call too.

Ya know what.... it actually doesn't. It happened yesterday. I went to light a cigarette and it wouldn't work. If I just replace the fuse will it work then?

Hey Rampage,

I just called Diablosports and they are on the case right now !! Sweet !! I talked to ......I can't remember his name ,but a nice guy though , I'll be shipping my predator back to them for an update. My predator is has the 1.03 version on it ( had since 2002 ). Since then ,they have upgraded to a 2.+ version of programming tables . I'm sure the upgrade will help solve my little problem and maybe even give me a little more performance as well.

How old is your predator ,Rampage ?

I sent mine out to diablo this morning for updates/new revision. From what I hear, there is quite a benefit to the upgrades that they have made!
