Autoxray does not work properly on C4 1985
Hi
I got an autoxray scanner. Works great on 86 and up, but on 85 it does not work all right at all. When making the initial settings so that i can use it on the 85. The autoxray influence the ECM so that the idle goes up in rpm. The manifold temp reads false values and then can I trust the other readings allthough they can be all right. Are there any experiences how to use the auto xray to get proper readings.
I know that I will not get all that the 86 and up can give but the ones that are important as number of knocks and manifild air temp oxygen sensor and and .... would be nice. Would very much appreciate some comments
Best regards Jan-Erik

I called Auto X-ray Tech service about why it wasn't reading every thing it should on my '86 and the Tech told me their scanners for some reason just don't read '86s very well. At least he didn't give some BS or say it was my car.
