Hi all

I have been diagnosing a Missfire so connecting the nanocom on and off for a bit. Finally got the missfire sorted but on the last attempt to check all the live data when I connected the nanocome to the socket it stays "dead". If I connect the nanocom to the PC via USB it works. Any suggestions?

Thanks

As above, or if it doesn't even light up, no power. Check the fuse for the OBD connector.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but i may have a similar misfire problem, not really sure as it's only a feeling that something's not quite right.

I've got a nanocom and seeing your post about monitoring the live data and identifying a misfire on cyl 6, thought that would be much easier than pulling plugs to identify the culprit, so plugged it in, but I can't find where in the various menus (seem to have tried them all) it gives live data for the engine.

Can you give me a clue? (4.6 HSE GEMS by the way)

TIA Alastair.

I have the Thor motronic. For me just went to the motronic menu then roughness option. I'll see if I can get screen shots.

Just read the nanocom manual for GEMs and doesn't seem to have the same options for misfire detection

Thanks Mick, but I've just been on the nanocom forum and I suspect that Gems won't report in such detail as the THOR which has something called 'crank wheel adaption, Phase 1-4' for misfire detection.

Ho hum - back to the traditional way then . . .

Glad yours is sorted now.
