You can get codes on those cars by turning the key to "on" 3 times. On the 3rd time it starts blinking the codes. I dont know if you can get any more codes with a paper clip or not. But Ive been using the key method for 23 yrs on my 1995 Jeep.

Is the engine light on when you drive? If not then there are no codes to pull other than the "OK" functioning code which I mention in the video. An ECM will always show they are functioning. OBDII was introduced around 95/96 so the paper clip trick won't work on that system. Make sure your car is the OBDI and not the II. The shape of the plug is different.

No, it's the same as check engine light. On G.M. cars, it's common for the light to be on. Helm Inc. has a repair manual with diagrams and troubleshooting trees to trace wiring faults causing the light to come on. A Actron CP9690 code tester works on 1984-2013. It has cables for OBDI for Ford, G.M., Chrysler, and Toyota. It has code-connect to diagnose codes. It's well-lit. EBAY has it. It comes in a black pouch. It uses 4 AAA batteries under the rear cover. Snap-on scanner checks codes. It has a primary cartridge and a Troubleshooter cartridge. Get the emissions cartridge. Get the OBD I G.M. cable and the cable for the cigarette lighter or battery adaptor if needed. EBAY has them. Some come in a case. There's a G.M. code tester which is cheaper from Amazon or EBAY. It is small and plugs into the connector. It's for OBDI. Warm the engine to eliminate false codes. Run the engine @ 2000 RPM'S for 2 minutes to clear the engine. Run fuel injector cleaner first to eliminate false codes and clean injectors. Do a tune-up and change the oil. Replace the coolent temperature sensor to eliminate false codes. If you get improper vacuum to the EGR, replace the charcoal canister purge valve. If you get rich oxygen sensor codes, replace the MAP sensor, on Ford's and maybe others. Check vacuum parts with a Mityvac. It can check for leaking hoses by stopping up one end of the hose and pumping vacuum at the other. If you hook it up to the EGR and pump up about 6" vacuum, it should hold if it's negative backpressure. Positive EGR'S should NOT hold vacuum. With the engine running at idle, pump it up. The engine should stumble indicating the EGR is flowing and the passage is clear. If not, the EGR is clogged or the passage is stopped up. That can cause EGR codes. Check for vacuum to the EGR. At 1500 RPM'S there should be vacuum. Below a certain point, it should stop. A Mityvac can check the transmission modulator valve and hose.

You obviously have fuel issues. Pull the fuel line off at the carb and crank it over. The line should spit a lot of gas. Remove the paper inline filter at the carb and see if it will run. I had the check valve go bad in the filter. If none of that works then you have a float or needle/seat issue in the carb.

Key off, install paper clip into ports A/B. Turn key forward to accessory position and it will run through its series of flashes.

Classic G-Body Garage ... I did it all the steps like you said still nothing this car has a 305 in it and it came with a v6 think that has something to do with it?

Yes because it sounds like they didn't connect the computer back up so it isn't reading anything therefore not running through this process. Pull the fuse on it in the fuse panel and don't worry about it.

@Jimmy S okay so I have a 94 buick lesabre and after reading your comment I finally now why it won't read.. so what do you suggest

@Jimmy S so my car will behave very randomly. I replaced the spark plugs, cleaned up my grounds and made sure I'm getting fuel pressure. So I can can go like 3 days with no issues and like today it took a 30 minute episode until my car could drive. I sit there and crank and crank but it wouldn't start. And my service engine soon light comes on randomly and the car will idle weird or just randomly die while driving.

I have a 80 coupe Deville carbureted and I found the green lead near the liter box . After many minutes of looking at It only gives me code 12 and nothing else. What can I do to fix this? Thanks

That means your cars ECM(or PCM as some also call it) is seeing no problems that it recognizes. By flashing you the #12 only, it is communicating to you that it(the ECM) is functioning as intended, but the absence of additional 'codes' other than '12' doesn't always mean that a problem(s) is not present- it just isn't causing an issue that the ECM can 'see' or detect yet(or ever in some cases. If the car is running ok, enjoy it- if not, other forms of diagnostics can be preformed by a mechanic/technician(although you should make sure the one you choose has experience in this area) doing tests the 'Old fashioned' way LOL.

Speedo is run from a cable and gear in the trans. Flash out the code, might be the speed sensor because your speedo isn't working.

I own a 84 Pontiac Parisienne and the check engine light came on recently. This is the first time it’s come on in 3 years of owning the car so I was panicking a bit haha. Thank you for helping me calm my nerves! Would you recommend getting a code reader that can do both OBD1 and OBD2 for the future??

Hey Brian! Huge fan of the channel! Quick question. I'm in the process of rejuvenating my 1980 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Almost got the engine bay complete, this isn't my daily driver so I'm removing some emissions for appearances, she'll more likely just be a show and meet car. I noticed that the charcoal canister had a vacuum line leading up to a switch and two wires. Is that just a warning light to notify when the canister needs service? Or will it affect ignition? Is there any warning switches or sensors I should remove or bypass to eliminate a potential engine light? Also, after watching this video I went to look for my OBD and I didn't have one. There's an ashtray in its place haha. Likely due to it being Canadian model I assume? Thanks!

If your 80 was one built with an ECM then removing all of the emissions etc will trigger an engine light. You need to remove the computer with harness and pull the ECM fuse.
