Re: GM OBD-I scanner (Blue 92)
That's an AutoX-ray scanner and it works fine. It won't read ABS or Climate control or suspension codes. Check with AutoX-ray to determine what it will read on your car.

Re: GM OBD-I scanner (PeteL)
It should read all of the engine codes which should be enough. The link I posted is $50.00 less than the AutoX-ray price.
Thanks

Re: GM OBD-I scanner (Blue 92)
I have not used this product, but I have Diacom software. The only problem with the hand helds is that they only show one senors data at a time. Once you use a full screen laptop product the hand helds just don't do much. I have seen a few ads now for the PDA's(if you need a hand held). I sure that will replace the hand helds soon. You can scan the car and check your email. :D

Re: GM OBD-I scanner (Blue 92)
I agree with CL....once you've seen a screen full of data displayed simultaneously anything else is just a disappointment. :nonod: :cheers:
I've had great luck in dealing with Andrew at AKM cables and Gary at TTS/DataMaster for the software and connecting cable. When I was researching OBD-I scanners the DataMaster program looked like one of the best and the OBD-II software was only $95!
The bad news (for us C4 guys) was that they had written the OBD-II software first. The good news is that the OBD-I program is in Beta test and is supposed to be released soon. Both AKM and TTS are listed on the web and more info can be found in the "ECM/PCM Tuning" section of this Forum.
If anyone can't find the links to their sites just let me know. Good luck, I think you'll like what you see. (The only problem is that you have to buy/borrow a computer to run it.)

That's good for error codes only. Good software (Diacom) will give you all kinds of information about the performance of your motor.

Re: GM OBD-I scanner (Hendej)
Looks like the Craig Moates software won't work with the LT1?
This is the "Craig Moates Free GM ALDL 8192-Baud communications" program. It's designed to work with GM's TPI systems with the 1227165 & 1227730 ECMs. That covers 1986-92 MAF and MAP systems, but not TBI or LT1 applications.

Re: GM OBD-I scanner (MrNuke)
Would this work on an '85 TPI!?!
No, but this probably will:
