So I sit down and plug in the laptop, ready to make a few runs. Beep, beep, beep. Thinking this is odd because I turned off beeps for DTC errors I take a look. Data errors! The light is flashing on and off like a jack ****ing russell terrier. Eventually the PCM link just dies. Recycles a few seconds later, and then dies again a few seconds later. What's going on? I haven't had this problem before, I've used the cable lots, programmed a few times without any problems, so why all of the sudden? After playing around with the laptop for a while the connection works enough to not kill the connection, but still log tons of data errors.
I noticed that if I drive off while it's connected the data errors become much less frequent. As soon as I stop, or idle it beeps quite quickly. I'm thinking this is rather ironic, because the whole reason I'm out there is to troubleshoot a nasty idle stumble.

Is my PCM dieing? The wiring in my cable worn? Laptop acting up?
Here's a few PCM logs:
I include csv files in case someone wants to take a look at them and analyze them for something else, but they obviously don't contain the data error bit on frames that contain errors.
(Just basic idle, lots of errors)
