Reading Error Codes
I just bought my first corvette yesterday. Got a 85 w/ 74,000 miles it. Could not love it any more. I knew when I bought it that the check engine light came on when you were on the highway for a little while. I want to read the error code but have no idea even where to start. I work on computers for a living so I know I can figure it out once I get started. Just not sure the right steps to get started.
Thanks for the Help

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new Vette. :cheers:
Here's how to pull codes:
-locate the ALDL under the left hush panel just right of the steering wheel and remove the plastic cover, if one exists
-insert the ends of a paper clip into pins A & B, upper right pair
-turn ignition On and cound the flashes of the SES light; first three "12s", followed by each error code three times, terminated by three "12s".
-turn the ingition Off, remove the paper clip and replace the ALDL cover
-bring any error codes back here.
