red light on s300, datalogging stops after 10 minutes
My laptop connects and datalogs fine for about 10 minutes. I have to unplug the usb cable or reset the ecu to get it to start datalogging again.

socketing was done at hondata, ignition is stock coil and dizzy, spark plugs are NGK ZFR5FGPSpunkster wrote:Who socketed the ECU? What spark plugs are you using and what ignition setup do you have?
I noticed you asked this same question about spark plugs in another thread with a similar (stops datalogging after 10 min) question.
Can you fill us in on why incorrect spark plugs would cause a problem?
Thanks again for any help getting this resolved.

The laptop is an HP nc8000. I will try and install smanager on something else and try and repeat the problem and post back.
Thanks again,

Ok this issue has fixed itself.
The only thing I can think of is that my idle with these ITBs is in the 10.5 range. I was letting the car idle and datalogging which would quit after about 10 minutes.
The rich idle was carbon fouling the plugs. Once I got her out on the road and opened the throttle up and burnt off that carbon it datalogs fine.
However, this is the same idle it's always had and the older version smanager wouldnt lock up like this... may want to have the engineers look into that.
