Mark, I have a 94 which is an OBD 1 vehicle, with an OBD 2 connector, (94 was the crossover for the OBD1&2) My question is, I am looking to buy a scanner for the other needed purposes, but which do I buy, OBD 1 with an adapter for the plug or OBD 2 if it can read the 94 vette.
Any advise is appreciated.

thanks for the participation!!! sorry i didnt really have a solid answer for you.
a good example of "needing more info" would be my 95. i have a cold air intake and a Borla muffler system...i "think" i should have a slight tune done to my car (this is what i'm told anyways) and what Tom400 is suggesting i think would tell me that as well....??

Teach yourself the on-board diagnostics contained within the CCM. "Count the flashes" has nothing on being able to toggle the outputs on and off, and see the inputs change state by trying them (open and close a door, and watch the input change state, for example).
You need a jumper in the correct ports, but then it is all in pushing the correct buttons in the Driver Info System. ECM codes are in there too. And you can clear them without disconnecting the battery which clears the stereo memory.
