dead obd port
« on: March 27, 2011, 06:05:35 PM »
92 laser with 90 coverted eprom ecu. Tried plugging my palm into it today for the first time and no connection. Ok maybe my cables just went to hell for no reason. Call the neighbor to try his, same thing, no connection. I had this same ecu and logger/cables in my 90 talon before i got this car and had no problem with the palm connecting.

 I went through this process and still nothing. I  bought the ecu from jeff O last summer so im in denial anything is wrong with that.Im hoping you guys can help me. Got a nice holset and meth setup ready to go and now i cant do f*cking shit with it if i cant log.

Did you change the pins around that need to be swap when running a 90 ecu in another year car or vice versa???  I to have a 90, but I have 2 90's ECUs.  But there are two wires or pins that need to be swapped in order for it to run in the car.

K went through the continuity testin and eveything checked out,but still no connection to logger. Now this is mind blowing but fast forward 5 beers later and i get it to work and heres how. When i took it out of my 90 i had put new connectors on the obd end cuz the originals were gettin kinda shitty.Ya know new spade connecters that fit good, all sodered and heat shrinked real nice like. Well as i say a few beers down tonight i get the idea..ima cut these nice ends off and crimp on some shitty spade connecters that are cut in half to fit on the pins. Low and behold, instant logger readings,! Moral of the story..beer fixes all..
