Vag-Com and 1991 Passat (US 49-state version)

you have to lower the baud rate, I forget to what, the early ecm is a lil....slow. Corey

Thanks Tin Man. I tried 4800 and 1200, but still could not connect to the engine. I could still connect to the auto trans module though. Do you remember the "best" baud rate that worked for you?

I just bought a faster laptop (with the proper speed) and will try that too maybe tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will be able to ask others on the vag-com list. I might even try to find another ECU or similar Passat to try it on. Might be my 91 Passat. :-( thanks and later, dave Reminder........

nope I dont have any clue its been so long now, but had the same problem Corey

Thanks Tin Man, I have also asked on the vag-com mailing list. I went through most of the wiring tests and really did not see much of a problem, at least I don't think I saw one. I am possibly thinking it might be a bad ECU. I will locate one from another Passat or A2 with a 16V engine to test my theory. Unless I can test one in a running Passat and then test mine in their car. lol

I was finally able to connect to the engine module after setting baud rate to

thanks all!
