i have a 1998 supra tt that has been highly modded. The car will not start the car is getting a 50 psi the injectors are not sprayn, ever since i swaped from 850cc to 450 cc. so i have tried to reprogram the aftermarket computer for 450cc injectors but im having problems with that because the car has autroinc computer that flashes a red light then goes off so i thought its not getting power but it test out fine. but when i plug it to my laptop it says short circut in a datalink cable. i bought another serial db9 to usb same problem and my car will not start and i have spent alot i mean alot of money on this car and it dosent run i need help and bad please if you know anything let me know.i will post pics as soon as i can.

As a reference, I'm also running an aftermarket, 'standalone' ecu in my Mkiv TT (an AEM). Before that I ran a Haltech. I've worked on several other Mkiv TTs with standalone ecus. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you look at it) I've had to become intimately familiar with these types of issues.

Regarding the "usb port too fast" excuse, just try it with a different (older) computer. If you can duplicate the problem with another computer, the problem is definitely in the ecu (and not with the computer).

Do you mean USB cables? Again, you need to try it with another computer, not another cable. If the ecu won't talk to a different computer, then the ecu is bad. My advice (primarily based on your frustration level) is to get a bone-stock ecu and get rid of the Autronic. Standalone ecu's are only for someone with either deep pockets (to pay installers/tuners) or someone with a lot of patience, time and expertise.
