Trying to flash stage 1 93oct with an AP that I bought used. It seems I can't get past the initialization stage. I connected the green connectors, turn key to on, select map, hit ok, turn key off then back on, hit ok again.. then it says initializing with a flashing box underneeth and just sits in this mode forever. I've done this before, not sure what the issue is... The car IS in test mode as far as I know(fans cycling, check eng light flashing etc..) Any suggestions???? I hope I'm just not waiting long enough but I don't think so.. there's supposed to be dots indicating progress and I have none after 20 minutes, just a flashing box.... Help!
not 100% sure on STi but there may be a white jumper connector (thats whai i needed for mine 2005 2.0L)
No jumper connector for 06' STI, was looking for that when I first received it. Checked the book and sho nuff, no jumper... still not working..thinking I got scammed!
I'm 99% sure its unmarried to the previous owners car... book says I would've gotten an error and a different screen when I first hooked it up. I don't think thats the issue...
I know this sounds like a blow off answer, but have you tried calling Cobb? I have had to contact them on a couple occasions and have always been very impressed with thier help staff. They are pretty dang good. Try giviing them a call. If he is available ask for Christian. He is one of the head guys up there and seems to know this stuff inside and out for the most part.
If you mean the green plugs then yes... not sure about any others.. And yes, I did call Cobb, there closed till the 2nd..boo! Gonna try manually reseting the ecu and trying to initialize again tommorrow... any other suggestions guys???
Sent the faulty AP to Cobb... Got it back quickly and all is well!!!!! Flashed stage 1 93oct tonight with no issues. Going stage 2 once I get the gaskets for my TBE and get it installed, can't wait... A big thumbs up for Cobb's customer service, friendly and got it done quick!!!!
