All the OBD1 tools at the local parts houses have a different connector. Mine actually has two smaller connectors than the single connector the code readers had that I saw. My truck has a 2 row 8 pin connector and a single row 2 pin connector both connectors using what looks to be the standard flat pins.

I am open to any recomendations you kind readers may have on how to get the codes out of my truck. I drove to 3 different parts house this morning hoping to locate what I need to no avail. It really shouldn't be this hard.

 

Just turn the key on and off 3 times and count the groups of flashes from the check engine light. The last code you get should be code 55 (5 flashes, short pause then 5 flashes) which means no other codes.

Cool I think it worked.

I got a 1,2,4,5,3,7,3,7,2,1-55

Since it's been an intermittent CEL while driving in that it's on sometimes then off others I'll assume this is a failing O2 and replace and cross my fingers. I've never replaced it before since I've owned the vehicle yet so I'm due.

Thanks.
