Chrome V2 download issues

*ISSUE RESOLVED


hi, this is mainly aimed at greg, but i dont think that he wants a pm about this, and it will be better for others to see this in case they have this issue.

i donated money, and got the email... thats all fine. but after going to the link in the email when i press download, the page reloads and looks like this:


i dont know what the issue is, but i would like to flash to chrome V2

also, i had a fuel pump check engine light come on, and wasnt sure what that applied to. i had some 02 sensor and EVAP codes pop up as well, so im hoping i can get all of those cleared in chrome V2.

any help is greatly appreciated greg! thanks for all your work, the flashing went very smooth and your writeups are awesome!

copy that link to your clipboard, open a new tab, paste it in and hit enter. See if it downloads then. The browser is not recognizing it as a download and is rendering it in the browser. Can happen sometimes depending on how they are writing the response variables.

you may also try pasting that link into firefox or ie.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

fyi, you should take that screenshot down when you figure this out. That link works in my browser and would be uniquely linked to your donation.

thanks for your help chris. i hope no one stole anything... i wonder what the issue was. i opened it in IE and it worked fine... thats frustrating. i never use IE so i didnt even think to try that

There is something wrong with evoscan 2.9 and reading the CEL codes. I don't know if it got resolved in the latest version but I still use evoscan 2.6 for reading/clearing codes.

In the future if anyone has issues downloading I can email you the file too.

to be clear, it wasnt evoscan that was the issue, but it was the actual Chrome V2 xml and bin files that would not download to my computer.

i am hoping now that i got chrome v2 that i can get the correct peripheries turned off to keep the check engine light on and off as it should be.

you have any input on that fuel pump CEL? still not sure what its referring to... but i got them turned off fine on 2.6

[Greg E]

There is no such thing as a fuel pump CEL. The problem is with evoscan. It makes up false codes regardless if the CEL is on or not.

Chrome is a stock American ROM with a few add ons. Nothing more. It displays the same codes as a stock 99 VR4 would.

ah - i see what youre saying. thanks!

ah - i see what youre saying. thanks!

Never guess how long it took me to figure that issues out....

First time I experienced it, the CEL was on because I forgot to disable a periphery. Read the code with 2.9 and it said the speedo. There is no CEL for the speedo... Cleared it, then it said the issue was the knock sensor. Cleared it, checked it again, it said speedo again.

Flashed a stock ROM back on. Same issues..

Finally got the idea to use evoscan 2.6 to get the real code... Nearly went bald in the process.

i have both downloaded, and i will keep them. this computer is only for the vr4, so i can keep it as is!

maybe my silly questions should go in the q/a area? i have a feeling a lot of people will have these plus a ton more
