then there is a problem between ostrich and ecu. what color is the connect when you are connected to emulator? did you put the ostrich cable properly in the ecu?

the red stripe on the ribbon cable is facing towards the middle of the ecu. that should be ok right?

yes the car runs like before. ectune connects to ostrich. but i cannot affect the engine in any way. datalogger cannot connect to ecu either

when uploading the first time upload base rom & cal and verify it

real time update is enabled. it verifies correctly, the emualtor works fine, i can load a map into the emulator and download it to the laptop later. but the mil light should give 3 flashes when i have loaded a basemap & calibration to the emulator right? in this case it do not flash, just the regular flash when i hear the fuel pump.
