I believe the instructions that I had with my set up so that Port 2 was primary, when I forget which port is used I unplug and try a different one. Maybe this is your problem for connection as well? If you got it to work once then this is the only issue that I can think of off the top of my head.

I wonder if there's a way to mount one of those Microsoft tablets on the dash and run INPA, that would probably be pretty helpful with the rough running monitor. I know driving around with a wide laptop in the passenger seat isn't easy to read with the cord as short as it is...

Are you looking for something to monitor engine knock? or more like having an AFR gauge?
I tried the USB switch though I didn't unplug it when I did the changes. I will try that.

I guess I could find a longer cord for INPA but first choice is wireless.

I want to my reduce anxiety associated with spraying nitrous.----I want to see and record if I can get any more performance when I am using meth and/or nitrous. Basically I want dyno readings available all the time. Not looking for accuracy just deviation.

I can control the amount of meth by percentage of throttle position but so far can't watch whats going on with AFR. My MAF performance goes sour very quickly. I'm guessing it is caused by nitrous. I want to see what happens to MAF readings when I spray to catch fall off sooner. I want to be sure I don't spray when the MAF is not working properly. No knock that can be heard but I would like to watch timing advance.
