thankyou

ok...

i went to the help file in smanager but it does not list exactly what components are needed. exactly what transitors and diode are needed, i am looking to purchase them from radioshack and they had certain specifications. any clarification is much appreciated.

they are nonresistor plugs, thankyou lol. tghe ngk site confused me. i will be getting non resistor plugs asap.

i will post the part number after work.

i do not have the racing plugs, i have the standard v power plugs.

actually, ngk r's are resistor plugs. what else could it be? straight off the ngk site:
A: NGK "R" or resistor spark plugs use a 5k ohm ceramic resistor in the spark plug to suppress ignition noise generated during sparking.

NGK strongly recommends using resistor spark plugs in any vehicle that ...

lol figures, guessi shoulda thought of that one. i just put it in a freainds car and it worked fine. im going topick up new plugs. thankyou for the help.

I checked, they are not race plugs, thay are ngk R's - the v power plugs.

ok thankyou i will check, but i think a friend of mine has the same plugs and his dattalogging works fine. im going to try a few things after work today and i will update later. all input is much appreciated.

im not sure but i know they are 8s and they are v power, i changed them just prior to this problem but they are the same plugs that i had in just b4 but new. im goin to put the ecu in a friends car later on to try and eliminate the ecu itself.

im thinking it has to be electrical interference. because it is fine when the car is not running. is there any way to tell? should i change my spark plug wires or something?

i checked the soldering on them and they looked ok to me and the board was down. i did not have this problem until just recently.

If the datalogging stops at a certain rpm the cause is electrical interference, usually originating from the ignition system. Check that the spark plugs are resistor ...

ok. I've narrowed it down to something with the s300 itself. when the car is not running, i can datalog for as long as i want i can watch the tps and other readings on the display screen. but as soon as i start the car it will continue to datalog for maybe a minute and then stop. the usb stays ...

i connect the cable to the laptop and it registers that it is there but it will only log for like a second or not at all ive updated my firmware and my usb drivers multipletimes. need help ive exausted all ideas.
