seems like the range while connecting has to be consistent Ive noticed I can connect well and than as I walk to engine bay it will grow as far as delays but even though I can get reading standing in front of the car to connect it has to be within about a yard and sometimes than its a lil figgity Id make sure you got no other strong signals going ie a powerful wifi router or modem. Try it the next time you stop at the gas station and make sure you go through and install the proper pids and than reinstall the program before trying to connect
