Try wiggling/ pushing all the connectors (especially the obdII) together. Sometimes they come apart, and I don't believe you need the fps. *but don't take my word on that*

I already did, I get a quick flash from the link cable right when I plug it in but then I'll try to connect to the ECU and it says that it can't find COM1 or something.

Yeah I did a little research and talked to a few guys. They said I can just run a vacuum line from the intake manifold to the FPR.

Do you have more than one usb port on your computer?

Yup it's a mac with 2 3.0 usb ports. I have windows 7 partitioned to another part of my hard drive which is what I run link with. I've been able to use regular USB's just fine on both sides of my computer.

Did you download it to a specific usb port?

idk about 2g's but on a 1g you can year out that fp solenoid without even getting a CEL. I think on a 2g you can do it but you have to check the emissions box in link or something.

Were you suppose to download it to a specific one? I thought it didn't matter which USB port it was plugged into as long as it got downloaded into the computer?

Goodhart yeah I checked around and it seems like I should be safe running without the solenoid as long as I run a vacuum line to the fpr from the intake mani.

Mine would only work on the port closer to the memory card slot ( macbook pro) or it would freeze after connecting. Is the most recent version downloaded from here http://www.ecmtuning.com/downloads.php?osCsid=rp2m2arlvvesc23rfg5rvl6e47
