    Logging issue

    Having an issue logging. Data logger went from logging everything I had chosen to only logging MPH, and RPM. At first I noticed various things like STFT, or KPA, etc would drop out from log to log. I'd remove one thing, like current gear, and it would come back. However, the other night, everything was logging, I wrote a tune and then I lost almost everything I was logging previously.Cables don't seem to have any issue, not cut, cracked, loose, etc. Updated software with HP's "repair" update. Still nothing. Any thoughts? Using MPVI by the way. Thanks in advance.

    sometimes with electronics, things just get clogged up, especially if logging a bunch of channels, or for extended periods of time. Usually when this happens with me, I just simply reset everything, and all is good.

    I'll try that and see what happens. I have closed out the scanner and reopened but haven't restarted my laptop. Hopefully it's that simple.

    Well, unfortunately that didn't fix it. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Hp Tuner on my laptop. Same thing. Key on engine off, AFR listed in the left column and highlighted blue when I confirm it's added. Connect to the vehicle and click the red dot to log, AFR disappears from the left hand list. Also doesn't log anything but spark advance, mph, kpa(map) and current gear. Though current gear shows 3rd in park with engine not running. I assume the issue is the MPVI but idk. Do I buy a new MPVI? Thoughts?

    repoll for supported parameters in scanner software.

    If that doesn't work please open a support ticket.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    I repolled and that seem to fix everything but my wideband. I removed the channel and readded it (serial port > AEM > AEM AFR. It shows on the list as a channel until I click the red dot, then it disappears. Support ticket or am I doing something wrong? Thank you
