Strange but true Code 45

Interesting couple of days. Had a check engine light come on at a light, found out later it was a code 45,interesting. Typhoon running like crap under boost. Took it back to the house and parked it. Later that evening I took out the diacom, started playing with it to find out what was going on. Suspected the usual, map sensor, stuck injector etc. I have a Cyberdyne fuel mixture guage, usually moves up and down while the O2 transitions occur. Funny thing, the gauge was stuck showing middle of the road, using diacom in normal mode. Switched to diagnostic mode, O2 started cycling like normal doing transitions, but back to normal mode, and no movement. Humm. Well I inadvertantly rebooted the laptop and when in initialized the parallel port, it of course killed the Ty, feedback etc. So I remove the two ecm fuses, reboot the computer, reinstall the fuses, fire up the Typhoon after Diacom back up and running and the fuses reinstalled, no more issue, what? Stuck bit in the ECM? Humm, just wanted to pass on the experience as dealing with computers of all kinds, I have seen "stuck bits" before, never in the Typhoon, but what the heck, it is running fine now.

FYI, will keep it monitored.
