Hey guys;

Is anyone here running an MSD Dashhawk? I just got mine form Gravana because I'm planning on a major engine upgrade soon, and its not working on my car. The car is an '07 Cobalt SS/SC

The problem is that it hooks up and works great on the computer, but once I plug it into my Cobalt, it dosen't work (no information or backlight, the unit remains off). I double checked the MSD website to make sure my car is CAN compliant, and it is, but I'm sure you all know that.

Any help would be great, Gravana Tuning is a pain in the ass to get a hold of.

Thanks guys

*Edit* Its a dashhawk Gen. II

 

I may be wrong, but I dont think the daskhawk works with the ss/sc

 

that would suck

 

That's what I thought, but the application list for the dashhawk says it works for the 2.2 and 2.4

Plus when you put your make and model in the gravana site it comes up as an option

And the car is CAN compliant. The dashhawk is on OBD II reader for CAN equipped cars and trucks

 

i believe he is right

 

the dashhawk doesnt work with the ss/sc , the aeroforce interceptor works with the ss/sc

 

then once I get my money back for the MSD I'll get a aeroforce.

Thanks Guys

But I don't see why it wouldn't work. The dashhawk is a CAN Bus OBDII reader. So it should work, This whole thing is pissing me off, especially when Gravana won't contact me after sending many emails and leaving 2 phone messages.

 

Sorry you picked up the wrong one, but the aeroforce is great. I have it and its helping me diagnose some problems. Gives you tons of information for a small size and its easy to install. That with a mechanical boost guage and a wideband you're good to go.

 

The 2.2 and 2.4L Cobalts are CAN, but the SC'ed 2.0L is VPW (not CAN).

That is correct and the SS/TC is CAN.
