PLease Help: Retrieving Fault Codes

Faded · 07-03-2003, 10:49 AM

I did go to Autozone. The told me the same thing that is in the articles on this site (find the single pin connector and jump it to the 6 pin connector, ect). The guy at Autozone and I couldn't find these connectors. The only one I found is under the dash, 16 pin OBDII style connector. He said that his code reader would only read '96 and up (OBDII) cars. We even went in and referenced there code book that covers most cars, and it outlined the same 1 pin to 6 pin method. I didn't say anything about what years that works for or anything. We sat there for 1/2 an hour studying the book and looking at the car. By then it was 10 min. past their closing time and he was just trying to politely tell me to get lost saying it must be an ox. sensor, or TPS, or this or that...

I don't know much about Mustangs, so I was hoping someone would help me out?! Isn't there a way to jump the connector to get the check engine light to flash the codes on a '94? I am finding limited information on this production year. I don't mean to come across as a jerk, but I'm just getting frustrated with this thing. Any help is appreciated, and thank you for your suggestions. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
