Newbie at using diagnostic software.
So not sure if I am using the software correctly.
Laptop was connected via com port 3 at the time.
Could someone with a little more knowledge than me run an eye over these reading please.
Would I be correct in saying the lambda sensor on cylinder 567 is not working ????

Note top of air box was removed at time of screen capture.

There is something wrong with the serial connection, some values are not reasonable.

BTW, you can make a Hardcopy of the Screen with the Print-Key on your keyboard :-)

^^As Oliver advises, the data from the ECU to your laptop is somehow corrupted?

Think the engine would be screaming at 48 thousand rpm?

Have you access to another laptop?

I do have other laptops but they are running windows 10.
I thought the software didn't run on widows 10 ???
So I purchased an old laptop running windows xp off of fleebay so I could use the software.
But that seems to be not working either.....


UPDATE

Ok so I think I may have found the problem.
This is the brand new lead delivered from TVR Parts yesterday......

The MBETool Software which you are using works with Windows 10, no problem. I should know :-)
If you have strange values, look in the Footer of the program window. It should show an ECU Number like #941....
If the number is blank there must be a problem with the connection.

^^ That'll be the problem!!

As Oliver mentions - he wrote the software specifically for Windows 10. It's the old TVR diagnostics that would only run in Windows XP or earlier. Not that I'm a computer guru....was overjoyed when Oliver published his programme as a free download on the Speed 6 forum...Would have been lost without the ability to use and (as time went by) suss out some running issues and correct them!

Do you have a link to the new version of the software? I am still using the old version on my dodgy XP powered laptop!

It should also work if you start it with a Right Click and 'Run as Administrator'....but don't know exactly, because I don't use Windows 10 at all :-)
