Howyadoin,

I just bought the car with a check engine light on (Yeah, I know... I live on the edge, what can I tell ya...) Alldata tells me that the paperclip trick doesn't work on a '96. Is this true? I have a friend with a scanner, but I'd like to read the codes ASAP so I can get whatever parts I'll need before I bring the car to him.

Thanks!

-Rav

P.S. Looove the car, rides nicer than my Caddy!

Hi The_Raven,

Correct.

Codes can only tell you where to start looking, not what to replace. Once you know where to look, Alldata can lead you to the source of the problem.
