Any program to scan my 85 GN?

[rob350]

I was just wondering if their is any software that can be used on my laptop to scan my car. I plan on upgrading to the 87 ecm in the future, but I would like to see what my car is doing right now. I have a ALDL cable that I use on my 94 Z28 (OBD 1). Will this cable work for my 85?

Thanks,

Rob

I got an OTC 2000 Scanner you can have it for $120.00 plus shipping, this will also work with your upgraded 87 ECU when you finally decide to do that..

Hey Rob. If the older version of Turbolink will work on your car you can borrow my setup. I live in Dexter, over by Ann Arbor.

Turbo Link works but it does not display very much info with an 84/85 ecm compared to an 86/87 ecm. The ecm conversion is really simple and if you could see the difference with Turbo Link between the different years you will want to convert asap. I did . Also there is a current thread on TB's board about a free program called Turbo Meter. TurboBuicks.com - How to setup Turbometer Pro and scan your car.

I'm guessing turbometer won't work with the 84/85 ECM?

Not sure but I posted that question in that thread.
