I think I've just found the issue!!! The DE15 plug on my cable has been assembled incorrectly! The back of the plug has been placed on to the face upside down! Check out the attached picture.

If the unit goes into monitor mode will the fuel pump start?

And are you referring to the serial port buffer settings in windows?

Thanks
