replaced everything including a DME. when I checked the MAF voltage again only got .58v at idle. made an email yesterday and making a call today since the last email and call I made never got returned.

I'll just keep posting here until someone figures it out. I just got a great deal on another ECU, also, my car is a silver label, anyone running a red label? any difference, I know it SHOULDNT matter seeing as the EWS is the only difference.

On another note, while messing around yesterday, I got the car to pop a 1216 and a 1282 code, TPS Potentiometer and Fault Memory Error, which is what prompted me to pick up another ECU. TPS is brand new (third one, because I kept thinking the car wasn't using the idle circuit if the TPS wasn't reading right because I wasn't able to change idle fuel in the tune). Hell if I know. I guess I'll try the cam sensor next. I thought I got a 1244 code (cam sensor) but I went thru all the codes again and I only got the 1282 and 1216... hell I have no clue. I should just replace every sensor on the car and see what happens at this point.

Got some work done today, vanos seals replaced, started tuning some... got it driving OKAY... the turbo base tune Miller supplied basically doesn't nothing at this point, but it used to run great. knowing my MAF is in spec was a good start, but i ran across this today. may be the solution for a couple of us? a weird solution tho, I've never ever ever touched my idle screw.

ECU grounded, MAF reads .76-.79v at idle. just replaced vanos seals, rest of the motor relatively solid. no vacuum or boost leaks. Still confused. Hoping this is on my end. Going to try tuning it out some more. I still don't understand why the idle tuning tables don't affect idle at all.

This is a long shot, but I just pulled apart the top end of my motor, and since I've boosted the car (and this running issue slowly started happening) I realized my VANOS seal is DONE for! Parts on order, not sure if this could be the cause, but the known symptoms sure point in that direction, and other than that everything on the motor looks fine. Maybe someone from Miller could comment if that could cause these issues? I'll reply once the parts come in.

I have almost the same issue currently. I had a laptop and was able to read/write. I installed the software on my new computer (xp, new java). It no longer wants to work, on either computers. I also checked the wiring, popped the ecu open and everything. I also tried reloading the software. My xp is a fresh install, only have war chip software, java, and google chrome.

I plugged in my war chip and it did not install. So I downloaded the wizard and installed. However, I cannot read or write. It says, "Chip not ready. Please wait for chip"

It seems like my computer doesn't recognize the chip. I have a fresh xp install. What can I do? Thanks.

I will also try grounding the ecu once I get back from school in May. As for another update, before I left for break my "new" pump decided to quit on the car...time to order a Walboro 255!

ECU is and has been grounded as you described, I'll get a MAF reading tonight when I get home, maybe the other guys with this issue can post up their results also.

I've had and been working on this issue since last spring with no avail, and also can't get ahold of them now. About to dump this kit and go RK. Happy to know it's not just my car being a freak.

Have you tried grounding your ECU directly? Take a wire and wrap it around one of the ECU cover bolts and fasten the other end to a chassis ground directly. We have seen this problem lots, especially in swap cars.

Also, what is the MAF output voltage at idle? Should be around 0.7v
