What do I need to read out codes

I just had mine scanned at Hedrix Cary AutoMall. They charged $95.00 to scan it and that is applied that against the repair. The repair was a clogged EGR valve cavity and was $122.00 to fix. So the repair bill was $122.00 and now my car is inspected so I'm happy.

Try having Autozone or other of the chain parts stores read the codes. Since your system is an OBD-1 you can probably DIY by shorting a couple of the pins in the ALDL connector. Do a google search on obd-1. I'm hesitant to tell you what 2 pins to short 'cause I haven't had an OBD-1 system for some time.

Hm. I meant to mention that AutoZone (which has a sign saying they will read out codes for you) told me my car is too old. Maybe I will call a different AZ and see if they can do it.

A 93 is obdi compliant. If all you want are the stored codes, then a paperclip will work just fine. However, to read the serial data stream you will need an obdi reader. There are many links on the net on how to use the paperclip.

and here's the one everyone should have:

Wow! That's pathetic. Apparently they forgot where to put the paper clip. That's just sad.

look for an autotap on ebay
