Ok now that is established. You need to get good comms to laptop to read faults and clear them, then that should hopefully go away. Unless there is some part that needs changing to sort it if the same fault keeps coming back. You need the correct driver for the USB adaptor mounted on the correct comms port. As i said earlier this is sometimes a problem. I have never buggered about with that aspect so can't really help you with that problem. When you get comms and fault codes then i can help.

I used a USB Serial Adaptor I have had for years, I used a old Dell Inspirion Laptop ruinning Win7....
Plugged USB adaptor in - windows tried to load a generic driver, go to Windows Update and ask it to search for an updated driver for your adaptor...
Download and install driver...
Attach EAS Lead....
Go to Device Manager, look up the port settings of the USB/Serial Adaptor...note the Comm Port Number
Open EASUnlock Software - select the corresponding comm port from the list....
Plug the Lead into the car Ignition on, click connect Roberts your mothers brother.....
I had never used the software before and it worked first time....
You need to ensure you have the correct drivers..the Generic Windows ones on Win7 are ****e!

It say's "No Idle", you have no comms to the EAS. You have to have a green "good Idle" to show you have established communication.

Good idle means you have a good connection the EAS ECU, it should be on constant. You have a problem with the USB to serial drivers for Windows or port address, are you using Vista or Win &?

You may need to change the port settings in the computer to get it to work with Win 7 in device manager. Win 7 is a pain, it often allocates an out of range port address the USB to Serial adaptors.

Looks like he has been playing with one byte and two byte delay also.

Diagnostic mode is signified by 3 beeps and a re-display of the "Slow 35mph" message, you can have the EAS in diagnostic mode but still have no communication.

Best put them back to standard then, I have found they never need to be touched if all is OK.

I haven't touched the values. They are exactly as the software was installed!
Looks like this is going to have to take second fiddle anyway. Couldn't start the car tonight, looks like its in hydraulic lock. Ill take the plugs out in the morning when I get to work, as that is where it is marooned, and see which cylinder gives me a shower! It better not be on the side I've just done the head gasket on!!
Ill come back to this thread once I've sorted the running problem.
I have made myself a promise. I am not giving up on this car, I've given up on many thru my life. This is a keeper.
So I'm going to post a new thread and ask for some advice.

A bit of a digression but on the op's piccy on the first page of this thread, could you connect all four air lines with 4 90 degree connectors and 3 t pieces to make them all one system connected together would you get all four level? Would this work?
Just a thought, my p38 never had issues with the eas except for needing 2 front bags.

Dont think so, different pressures are required to lift the heavier end up, and minor pressure changes from side to side to level the car!

Different pressures in front and back.
