Mil is illuminated. with motor off and key on the "on" position mil illuminates like normal and goes away for 10 seconds, and comes back and stays on. car will not datalog. car runs sluggish. no error codes are shown with obd scanner or in kpro but the mil stays lit up wether the car is on or not. all grounds are correct, spark plugs are correct. kpro is seated. please help with this issue. Im also burning a s*** ton of gas!

    Hm. Kinda sounds like youre having a daughter board error or bad socketing... but the LED's say otherwise...

    Would i try it? Yes. Thats up to you and if youre comfortable doing that though. I would at least look to see if the board looks ok, with no burning or desoldered joints. Your USB cable isnt shorting out on the ECU case by chance is it? I opened the USB port some more on my ECU case to be sure that didnt happen. Just tossin out ideas...

    i cant see any burn marks on it at all and i prolly stared at it for 3 hours hahahaha. My kpro has the sticker they put over the usb port but im not sure how much that helps. i might try reseating it. its just 3 connectors holding the kpro in right? the other is just to balance it?

    but you can upload?
    yeah double check and make sure you got the latest release of kmanager (they hae a link to the beta in the forums, get that one)

    all i can think of is checking the harness to see if its burnt on the header or something.
