A '95 huh? I remember hearing something about that having an OBD II connector, but an OBD I system. I know one of the admins know more about that, but I can't remember which one. Try 95BonnevilleSESC (the name says it at least!)

yup 94-95 are the hybrid PCM

an OBD1 connector with a OBD2 PCM

I knew it was something like that. That means the you have to trick the scanner, right? Make it think it'* a 96 or something?

You have to trick it somehow? A buddy of mine has the nice pricey scanner that supposedly links to the OBD II, and when he tried it had a link error just like the OBD I scanners at autozone. If anyone knows this procedure let me know, I would be very interested!! Thanks

Well I just got it back from the shop and they pulled the codes and informed me that two of my 3 coil packs are bad, as is the O2 sensor. They wanted to charge me $334 for the whole thing, I went to Autozone, paid $90 for the parts and a few minutes with some tools, had her all fixed up. Thanks for the help all!

For future reference,

I have the same unfortunate situation that you do. Its an ODB2 connector but an ODB 1 computer. my local Murrays has a code reader that is for 'loan' that will read both odb1 and 2 computer. It uses One unit to read the data, and gives you two adapters...

problem solved..


check murrays

Yes.... some readers work. Basically the system is OBD I with a freaky baud rate (data speed) and an OBD II connector. If you get a program and a laptop, and $5 worth of electronic parts then you can make a reader that works for your system.... but that also requires being electronically inclined. Anywho... Glad you got it fixed!

i find it very strange that you were told that two of the three coil packs were bad. if that were actually true, i don't think the car would start and if you did get it to start it wouldnt be too easy. i had a 88 se that had one coil pack die and it would crank over for 5 secs before it would start. even then it wasn't really bad on gas. just hard starting and a little miss. i also had a 92 ssei that had a bad o2 sensor and it was terrible on gas. i was getting about 280 km'* on a full tank and it had no power (like it should've). what happens is the computer dosn't know how to mix the fuel air ratio so it sets a default setting (limp mode) to keep the car running, thus the bad gas milage and miss in the ignition system.

Bump


As you can see from my other post there are still probs
