you cannot scan the codes yourself, and you will have problems having the local Advance and autozone scanning the car, from my experiece anyway

you have a OBD 1/2

feets he cannot scan via the top two

and he has a OBD1 connector that spit out OBD2 codes, and they CANNOT be scanned....93 was the last year of the "flash feature" to get the codes

feets, giving out advice like that will smoke a PCM. He cannot do it. That only worked up through 1993. Please KNOW what you're talking about when giving out advice here.
