Richard,
There is an idea on the thread below used to remove carbon deposits...
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...7&page=1&pp=15
Perhaps it might be of a little help.
Cheers,
Hymee.

sCANalyser install will automatically install .NET. .NET needs IE5.01 or above. The link I provided above, provided you follow the steps exactly, will run the IE6 setup and download a copy of the full setup onto your machine. You can then burn that full setup onto a CD to put onto your laptop. This will avoid you needing to buy a network card.

It is really funny to me to read about nobody having a computer good enough or up to date enough while I sit here in Iraq, of all places, with 5 computers within arms reach haha, I wish I could help!

LoL...the original link came from this thread...reminds me of someone saying the greatest part about starting a rumour is when it actually comes back to its source.
No, I think RAP's problems are more fundamendal than that...
And Richard. I'm with you on 'give me a distributor and a Weber' -- that's my vintage, too
...oh, and a stethascope...and a good sniff of the exhaust fumes...(falls asleep :D )

Sco, Hymee, we got the thing loaded but it will not work live. It will refresh and give you data but no live feed. It's running on Windows 98, is that a problem?
Give me a call on my cell when you get this. That is if it's still today over here on the top.

I know why, you need to change the settings of the serial port...this is how I fixed the problem way back right after I received the unit during the inital phase of beta testing:
right click on 'my computer' and enter the 'Device Manager', now go and expand the 'Ports' and right click on the serial device for the sCANalyser and click 'properties', a window will pop up and click on the tab labeled 'port settings' and change the 'Flow Control' drop down menu to the 'hardware' setting, then click 'ok'. You may now need to restart the computer depending on your system. Now it should work. This applys to serial only use and usb to serial converter use (like me).

Wish I had that info on Friday. Thanks TM. GJ is going to be calling today as he is not far from here but I don't know if I can get "The Computer" back from Dana's wife. If I can put it together we could do it today. If not I'll do it tomorrow by myself.
I've decided to just take it back to Mazda and leave it there until they fix it. Why the hell am I and everyone else having to fight this when they should be doing it. I've spent enough time and money trying to fix their **** up.
Everyone now go and yell out the window "I'm not going to take it anymore"

Just lemon law it.
You've got proof that it's not acting as it should. Give Mazda their legally-allowed 3 attempts to fix the problem and/or 30 days, and if they can't fix it, begin lemon law filing. From what I've seen from owners on the Mazda6Club forum that have had irreperable issues, Mazda's usually pretty quick about settling them.

if i could see every parameter available, AND know what the computer is supposed to do, under what conditions it is supposed to do it, and how it's supposed ot be done, i'm sure i could figure it out.
i don't have access to that information, but the dealer does...so why the hell can't THEY figure it out? tell the dealer to let me play with their toys and i bet i can get enough info datalogged to figure out what the story is. but yea.....that'll happen :p

Not, how was I suppossed to know when you were done partying? 
Anyway, as you say why the hell are we doing all the work handicaped without all the tools and info.
Mazda has to do it. I'll talk to them tomorrow.
But just so you know DANA broke the tab today. Took the shifter out to try a new idea and inspect the existing parts for wear. But Dana insisted on doing it himself without me. Just want to tell everyone like I told him I would. :D

Well RAP, I think there's a clear consensus that it's Mazda's problem, so get Mazda to fix it...and free your time to get back to Supercharger development

I already saw that and I don't know how much smoothing they had on the results. But it must be alot as there is not the typical sharp dips from the inlet tract activation. The thing is on mine is that it isn't consistant. On the last dyno day we got 145 on the first run. This is what I notice on the street, I can feel that sometimes it runs others not.
I'm ****** sick of it. I really like the car otherwise. That is supprising from someone as jaded as me. Mazda is it's own worst enemy.
