MSD Power Grid

voltdr · 02-23-2014, 11:05 PM

Anyone have any troubles with the new Power Grid? After five runs, the RPM (on the Racepak) would drop to zero and then come back on. Next 2 runs it's OK. Then it does it again. Checked all the usual things like connections, programming, etc. Anyone else have issues. Thinking about going back to my Digital 7.

Not sure if this helps, I just remember reading about issues with it.

A week or so ago, I could not get my laptop to connect to the MSD power grid again. It worked before. The very first thing the Tech Wizards told me to do is, "Wiggle the cable". That was their first answer to the problem. Are you kidding me. I later found out that after upgrading my laptop to Windows 8.1 from 8, the MSD software won't work. They said it wasn't "high on their priority list" to fix the problem.............

I have a power grid and controller, the grid took a dump within a week of install, they warranted it immediately. No issues with it now, I did have to update the software and that can be done easily from their site. I have windows vista on my laptop which is only used with the race car. I really like the whole concept and its real easy to use.
