1G Found a datalogger cable laying around and trying to get it to work.

So I was going thru my box o parts from when I used to be into DSM's and found a 1g logger cable and I can't seem to get it to work with my laptop. I don't know if it's a laptop version cable or a palm version cable. It's OBD port on one end and female DB9 port on the other end. Plugged it into my lappy, opened palm emulator and then opened mmcd and it just tells me 0hz. I thought that the palm logger cables had male DB9 ends on them, any quick way to check using a continuity tester for which pin should be going to which pin?

does'nt really answer what I'm looking for since I'm trying to identify which cable it is. I went and got a null modem adapter anyways and still does'nt work.

Without a picture nobody is going to be able to help you identify it.

I don't remember what since it's been a while since I used the palm emulator, but you do need one setting in the emulator program to make the com port work. Give a different program a try too. I like tmolog the best for 1g's, and at least it's a pc program so you don't have to mess with the emulator.

The problem was a setting within the emulator, got it up and running. Now to figure out if I'm getting phantom knock or rich knock.

Phantom knock is usually at random times, low boost(and/or all the time), "throttle tip in = knock, tip out + tip back in = no knock."

was seeing counts in the low 20's at 11 psi. Car runs crazy rich though.

Yeah i'd start leaning things out little by little to see if that helps.
