OBD for '94
Hi, my 94 coupe has a 16 pin OBD socket, I realise that its likely to be OBD1 because of its age but am I right in thinking a 16 pin OBD11 reader will work on it?
If so can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced reader, Im in Britain so something through ebay or Amazon would be ok.

basically error codes, I know I could go down the" jamming a paper clip in it" road but when working on my cars or bikes I prefer using the proper tools for the job

If you are worried about using a paperclip then IIRC there are diagnostic plugs available that have the required jumper built in so you just insert the plug into the ALDL socket to make the codes display.

the only compututer is a tech master one, the paper clip will bring up all codes. you can clear old ones that have been stored as well. but the scanner machine at a shop is a tech master one. ive had trouble myself. good luck

NO a OBDII code reader will not read the codes. However, many scan tools will read them. Not just a Tech 1 or MasterTech. My OTC Nemisys reads my buddies 94 just fine. Codes, engine data, ABS, CCM, AIR Bag, etc....
