Well, i really dont want to take it to a shop, im a kid, so dont really know all that much although i have come a long way since last yr, ill try it, im pretty sure ive tried it before but that diagram helps alot thanks!

 

Hey! you got a problem with me cause I got a $10,000 scanner??? (Scanner I said. Code readers do that, just read codes. Scanner shows me the operation of sensors and switches and test) It may have cost more than a paper clip and can not fit in my glove box but it has gone as far as to tell me stuff like the time a shift soleniod set a code and that the guy was speeding when it happened. (I could have gotten him in trouble withhis boss) And code readers are cheap. Start around $25. Ebay always has them for sale on there.

 

For obd1?

 

Ahhhh, I love freeze frame data. I just did some tune up work on a Grand Am. Few days later the girl comes by complaining the CE light is on, must be because of my work. Ok, free check, who knows. Maybe I did make a mistake, it happens.

114 mph with a P0300....Ahhhh, hun, you might want to stay off the speed limiter with that poor Grand Am.....

Suddenly she remembered she was on the Interstate (ya right, I system is a ways away) and was in fast moving heavy traffic (ya right, I system traffic stay above 100) and it did start to cut out when she was going that fast.

Gotta love it.

Here is one but really a paper clip works well and is cheaper. But if you look at the link tou will see a place where it says download manual. Do that and maybe it will give you an idea of what it does and how to read the flashes.

 

so all im doin is turning the car on, not engine just electronics and putting a clip in a/b and watch?

 

Ya, Key on, Engine off.

Count flashes.

 

k ill try that

 

well i did it, got the light went on, pause for a few seconds, then went on pause two faster flashes then stop, like 15 sec later repeated...
