i left my car at the shop, hopefully i hear good news tomorrow, theyre thinking it might be the wire so they ordered and overnighted one. so hopefully that fixes the problem..

 

I've had weird problems with AEM tuner where I had to reinstall it and then it worked from then on. That being said I'm surprised the 'tuner' doesn't have it already working on their laptop

 

well yeah im surprised also but he said hes hasnt done that tune in a while but its so old aem 1052

 

I had the 1052 and continuously fought this issue. You have to have the right cable..they may all look the same, but they are not. I had a sacrificial burning of my cable when I got the AEM V2 or I would send you the one I had. I think I went through about 4 or 5 to get one that worked properly.

I also spent a day at a tuners shop in Richmond VA waiting on him to connect...he ended up having to go buy a laptop that had an older version of windows...it is just a pita.

 

Yup it's the cable. A cheap ebay one literally lasted 5 seconds for me. I got a proper one and it would work half the time. This sounds weird, but make sure your spark plugs are NOT the non-resistor kind. These are most commonly the cheap copper Ngk plugs from AutoZone for like $12 a set. The non resistor plugs I had caused all kinds of interference which would mess with the connecting of my AEM and my Kpro later on. After I swapped to resistor plugs, all these issues went away.

Good cord, good plugs. If it still doesn't work, call AEM, the unit may have something wrong with it

 

If I recall, AEM has stopped support for the version 1 unit.

 

yeah we are in the process of getting a new wire. he tried 3 different laptops that wasnt the problem

 

yeah they dont support it anymore, so the help has to come from here or google :/

 

ill take a look at that. thanks. hopefully this new wire works is being shipped

 

yup so the new cable came in and still didnt work.
