Check the input channel window.
It should be there.

i update my firmware by steps on this forum described... it all went well and now megatune 1.0.7.3 starts normal over port but problem is that car now cant start  ;D

before upgrade i print all old setup (basic,injektor.....) now i put all back again and still want start...

can i put here all pics of setup-s so you look if something is wrong? or maybe i put firmware wrong?

Hi,
Have you got any sparks at the plugs?
Are the injectors working?
Can you see RPM in MegaTune when trying to start the engine?

rpm are rising up to cca 260, injectors are sending gas to spark plugs but i didnt look is there spark plug.
when i upgrade firmware,on end i heard fuel pumps pump gas. is that ok?

i think i put firmware wrong, i did it like this, from version 1036 folder i started download config, than i use generate config.after that i copy paste "firmware" from folder of 1073 version in the 1036 version folder and after that i hit upload firmware...i think that is too simple to be correct??

only warning i get vas from first start of megatune that version didnt match: recived 21, expected 22kpa...i put dont terminate and megatune started.

is there any program that uploads firmware in one step??

Hi,
Yes, the pump usually runs as the ECU reboots after the firmware changes.
I can't say if the firmware has upgraded properly, but chance are it has not if you've mixed two different versions.
You should do it this way to be sure of a good result.

Some firmwares require additional settings to be put in. 1.0.73 could well need the newer type of ignition settings entered in after you've upgraded. See the second post in the link above ;)
Try changing the H2 table before you do anything else. It may solve your problem :)
Cheers,

Hi,
New version folder once you've got the tables and config from the old version.

Sounds like something is wrong with the configuration of the batch files, :(

Try this one:
http://www.vems.co.uk/VEMSInstalls/VemsMT1.0.73C20.zip

Last time I used it, it all generated and uploaded fine.
