What do you guys use as far as code readers on your 95s and older? I want to pick one up since my CEL came on

<<< Is wondering the same thing. I figured if they were cheap i'd pick one up just... because.

You know all those readers you buy for an OBD car are lust fancy jumpers. Like said already a paper clip is a great way to read the codes. Providing you know how to count

You dont know how happy I was to read that...


Actron OBD1 scanners used to be sold at Wally World but I dont think they do anymore. The major parts stores usually have them for 30-40 bucks. Do yourself a favor and get one with a digital screen because counting a flashing light and writing down the results sucks balls plus its more than just a little ghetto.

in a pinch, sure go ahead with your paper clip but when you're doing work... have the proper tool for the job.
