Hi there, Has anyone here had any issues with logging the data for either the AVLS or AVCS systems in a gen 2 EZ30? I am using a tactrix and Romraider but i get no data from the ECU, the timing advance value is always zero and the VVL mode is always 1. I have had a lean code on bank 2 which is why i started to look into what might cause this, checking vac leaks etc etc and then i found this. I suspect that for some reason i am not getting the data or... the ECU is bad. Checked that the solenoids all have voltage, they all have reasonable ohm readings and none are bound up. Any further pointers or suggestions welcome.

OK, so i needed to have both sets of green plugs connected. The set in the drivers A Pillar and the set in the passenger foot well that were tucked in under the ecu bracket under the carpet. I downloaded the image and had to make my own def file in rom raider to be able to read it. Thanks for the pointers on where the plugs are.

All good, no apology needed. Will check the suggestions today and let you know how it goes. kinda makes sense that there might be two sets of plugs if you make the harness for multiple markets.

Possible, I have two plugs there, a green one like the test mode and one that is white. I will drop the panel under the dash and have a look. thanks

Hi all. I am trying to use the ecuflash app and the tactrix cable to save what i assume is a factory ecu image but i get an error when it tries to save it. The download stops with an error right after sending the key. [17:37:19.952] SSM2 init [17:37:20.096] SSM2 ECU ID is 450A364006 [17:37:20.180] Requesting Seed... [17:37:20.223] Sending Key [1]... [17:37:20.868] interface close [17:37:20.868] interface close I have seen mention that this may mean the ECU is locked, how would i see if this is the case? Any trouble shooting tips welcome as well. I have connected the green test mode plugs, mine seem to be in the drivers side A pillar foot well and were already connected from when i bought the car until i checked them this week. Thanks

I ended up buying through STA. Good to know others have used Green Sparkplug though.

Thats pretty reasonable as well. Thanks for the link.

I was looking for a a set of plugs for my EZ30 and came across The Green Spark Plug Company, shipping out of the UK. It looks like they sell the NGK ILFR6B plugs for a reasonable price. Its hard to see if they are priced USD though, $17.55 per plug seems like too good a deal for that not to be USD? Has anyone used them before?
