Datalogging Dropping Offline

bartman360 · Post by **bartman360** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:08 am

I have no clue what is going on here but when I actuate the datalogging feature it intermittantly drops off and freezes. i have to cycle the ign key to get it back. I have tried restarting the program, and this does nothing.

Also, after recording the datalog, how do you review the recorded file?

Thanks,
Bret

The cause of the datalogging dropping out is probably caused by interference from the ignition system. Make sure you are using resistor spark plugs. Also non-OEM caps, rotors and wires can cause problems as well.

ok, thanks. I will check and see what I have.
any advice on part 2 of the questions?

You look at the graph window and you can drag the linne back and forth to review recorded datalogs.

Would you know of know spark plug wires and or other compoenents that tend to cause issues?
Meaning if a NGK/Magnacore spark plug wires will cause this dataloging issues?
Also like putting in a Autozone brand rotor and cap?

Just want to know what components in the ignition systems have know to cause these issues.

Anything Non-OEM can casue problems.

ll right going to experiment on several components to see what works and what does not. Will report my findings.

This is also the case for KPRO system as well right?

El verdugo. Are you haveing datalogging issues as well or are you just bored? Just curious.

Why you say I am bored?

I tune cars on a daily basis and come across this issue from time to time and I was wanting to get a definitive answer on what is causing it. It gets annoying when one makes a sweep on the dyno and the datalog is cut at 5400rpm for instance.

Just curious why someone would swap components for no apparent reason but it all makes sense now. I street tune my vehicle with s300 and a portable 5 gas. It is a pain but I have had good results besides the datalogging issues. I have NGK resistor plugs, aftermarket wires of unknown origin, and a Napa brand cap and rotor. I have found that my datalogging drops offline at higher rpm. It seems pretty stable at lower engine speeds. I just drove the car 60 miles on the freeway while datalogging and had no issues. I am very interested to hear your findings. Please let me know what your results are.
Thanks,
Bret

Will do, since I just got my dad's turbo EK running again and he sports a S300. So I will do some different test on it and report back.
