Cheap OBD1 scan tool?
I hear its possible to use a paperclip on my '95 to pull up codes, but I would still need the book that translates the flashes into the code, and then tell you what to check. Is there an inexpensive one available that works? I also understand Autozone or some other parts store will do a free scan, but is this both OBD1 and 2? (Knock on wood, or fiberglass, but I have no codes showing now if I don't count the "Check LTPWS" light which I covered with electrical tape!)

I have two books on TPI fuel injection that provide a description and trouble shooting for the OBD-1 codes as well as theory and mods info:
"Chevrolet Fuel Injection", by Ben Watson
"TPI Fuel Injection", by John Baechtel
Both are available on Amazon for $15-$17.
