MPV1-1 & MPV1-3 Stand-alone logging issues on 2003 Z06
Has anyone ran into this issue?
About a month ago, after countless successful logs with a lap top connected and a handful of successful stand alone logs with the MPV1-1, I went to the track (road course) and 12 minutes into the session/log the car started making a dinging sound, I looked down and messages are popping up one after another: service engine, service traction control, service stability, low fuel warning, reduced power - you name it, it was coming up. Additionally my entire gauge cluster was dead as well. MPV1-1 had an error light. Drove into the pits and cycled the ignition (disconnected the MPV) and all was fine. Didn?t try logging again the rest of that day nor the next and the car ran perfect, as it did all summer long. I should not there is nothing odd with the log other than it stops when everything started going crazy.
Fast forward to today, UPS just dropped off the new MPV1-3, different laptop (old one has a old windows version and older hp tuner version) and got everything ready to do stand alone logging. Thought everything was fine as I drove out to a friends house. When I went to leave I started the car, then hit the button to start recording and as soon as I did I started getting all the error messages on my display. Turned the ignition off, pulled the MPV out and turned the car back on and everything was fine. Turned the car off, plugged it back in, started it and this time when I hit the button to record the clock died on the radio, hit the volume button to turn the radio on and it didn?t function either, hit the MPV button to stop recording and the clock came back on, but with the wrong time of 1:00. Tried this again and again the clock and radio power died when the record starts and comes back when the record stops, re-setting to 1:00. Unplugged the MPV and started driving home, about half way home I plugged it in and started a record, with no apparent problems. Stopped the recording while still driving home. Before arriving home started recording again, took a few minutes, then the clock went out. The logs recorded data, nothing apparently wrong with them.
Seems to be a stand alone logging issue only and with both units (I do not have a MPV1-2) and it?s not all the time, although the MpV1-3 is certainly happening a lot, compared to just the one time with the MPV1-1
Sadly this ruins my trust and ability to do any logging at the track as potentially having something die at a inopportune time could be dangerous.
Anyone have any idea what to look for and/or what might be going on?
Thanks
