Any suggestions?

what operating system? if XP this is your problem. use win95, 98 or better yet DOS. if win95 make sure com port properties match manual. this subject has been cover many times do a search.

There is a trouble shooting section in the instruction manual. You need to check the electrical connections and verify that the haltech is getting power. I can't remember specifically what it says. If you don't have the manual, it can be downloaded from there web site I believe.

I am running 98 and have used this laptop to tune my other cars with the Electromotive TEC II's so I know that port works. The car runs ok so I would think the Haltech is getting power.

You can confirm the Haltech is turning on when you switch the ignition ON - it goes through a 3 second priming of the fuel pump.

It might be shorter than 3 seconds also. Mine primes for about 3 sec and my buds primes a bit over a second.

If I am not mistaken the TEC software runs in windows. I would load the e6k software in dos and try again.

If the message is still stating "reconnect haltech" then I would try another ECU to make sure your wiring is ok.

I had this problem once before and it was my Haltech, I had to send it back to Haltech USA (when they were around).
