shyguy164 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 I can't short out the diagnostic connector, and an OBD II scan tool doesn't work either. How do I get the codes out of the computer? Is this the OBD 1.5 crap I've heard about. Quote
Crazy K Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 on rare occasion, you can find an AZ or Advanced that has the correct scan tool, but it is very hard to find. basically you have a 94/95 "OBD 1.5" computer in your car which requires a scan tool, but not an OBD II scan tool. You may have to locate a shop that will scan you car... Quote
Crazy K Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 do you have any clue as to why you have a probelm? is the light always on, or only after you start moving, or only when you are deaccelerating from high speed? etc etc. Quote
95 vert Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Orielly's has a scan tool and will check for free. At least the ones in KC do. Quote

Goes off after driving a few mins. I'm thinking it's the egr gasket, I've had the egr on and off a few times without using a new gasket. I also think that while I'm at idle, I can hear a vacuum leak near the egr that goes away once i give her some throttle. I was just wondering if there was a simple way to get the codes just to confirm my suspicion. Afterall, i dont have $100+ to drop on a new egr gasket... Quote
cutty Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 if you lived near me i could scan it for you, i have a tech 1 scanner Quote

I'm sorry... what motor? Quote
shyguy164 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 3.4 dohc. i'm pretty sure it needs a new gasket since i've had it on and off so much. i was being sarcastic with the $100+ line... i forget that doesn't come across well over the internet. it was supposed to be funny since i'm pretty sure i know why the code is coming up, yet i haven't changed the $5-10 gasket yet...

rossg Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 while the car is running spray some carb cleaner near the suspect gasket if there is a vacum leak the idle should change. Quote
swift13 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 i seem to have the same prob. i think. i got a scanner and code reads p0131 which is 02 sensor lean but i changed that and still got same prob any help would be great. Quote
