Hi DemonHawk,

You're dealing with two issues. The first is non-connection at startup. This will take some trial and error to suss out, but you CAN work around it, so let's back burner it for now.

The second more important issue is no fuel consumption recorded...

The fuel calculation relies on several other PID's from the vehicle before it bothers to calculate how much fuel is used since last calculation.

To check that we have valid PID info, using two screens of PIDS, display:

RPM, SPEED, THROTTLE, FUEL SS, (MAF RATE) or (MAP and INTAKE T)
(if MAF RATE is selectable, we use that, if not we use the other two (and RPM))

If any of the PIDs used show ERROR (or zero RPM), then no fuel use can be calculated.

If all are valid, then fuel use should be calculated from the data available... Fuel use is calculated in the accu_trip() function.
