Need help badly
So I've been searching online reading posts and whatnot, and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have TunerPro installed, have the cable hooked up, and ran the test which comes back saying it can see it. I then turn the key to the 'on' position and it click the DA button and/or Ctrl + F4 and it reads 'DA: Connecting...' and it sits like that indefinitely.
I have gotten what I believe is the correct .adx file for the 91 Dodge Stealth and have it loaded. (Kaxlon_DSM_1G_TunerPro_ADX_0.6_dash_list.adx).
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated, I've been working on this for awhile now and have had no success. Even watched a few YouTube videos on setup to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

TunerPro doesn't detect logging cables. Hardware detection is only used for emulation and other hardware that is microprocessor controlled. Perhaps you don't have the data acquisition plug-in configured to use the COM port that your cable is installed to.
Kaxlon himself may be a good source of help for you on this as well.

First of all, thank you for the quick reply.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The cable was purchased from Red Devil River, and following the YouTube videos for setup, it has you go into Device Manager, find the COM port and then set it in TunerPro and click the button "Test for Valid Interface Using Settings".
I found the COM port (in this case COM3) and set it in TunerPro and it came back saying it can see the cable just like in the video. Before I had it set to the correct COM port, it would say something about not being able to see the cable. Am I missing something?

So do you think it might be a problem with hardware, like the cable or something on the car that's not communicating?
Is this a common problem? I feel like a dog going in circles on trying to figure this out and I am truly lost beyond trying to mime a few things I can find on the internet.

TMO is a old school data logging software. Inferior to TunerPro but great for quickly check some sensors and the connection.
The USB cable will ground the correct pin and force the ECU into serial data mode which we use for data logging.
Can you link or post pictures of the logger cable?

I have been following this link and it ended with "I hope it isn't a bad choice of cable with known issues?" Is there a page two to this thread ?
I have the same issue on the same car. Just nothing shows up in the Parameter field.
I left messages with Red Devil River on ebay, direct email and phone and he has not responded for several weeks. I have his usb ALDL cable , Tuner pro CD which he supplied and can communicate between laptop and cable but not with the car. The connected light never turns green.
Just rebuilt engine and not passing CA emissions test-high hydrocarbons. I am looking for a stock load to build a baseline beforeI start adjusting.
Anybody...please help!
