With those code testers, you can replace parts unnecessary sometimes. Warm up the engine before KOER. If you get vacuum at the EGR at idle, replace the charcoal canister purge valve. If you get Oxygen sensor running rich codes, replace the MAP sensor. Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It does live, graphing, record, oil light reset, MIL tests, and MORE on OBDII. It has cables for Ford OBDI, G.M., Chrysler, and 2 Toyota. It has a cable for OBDII. It has a cigarette lighter cable. It comes in a pouch.
Marty, this is good info! The innova shown here is about 25$. So its very inexpensive to get some direction. Pulling codes can be free by using the paper clip and counting the CEL blinking. You have some great info with troubleshooting, that is appreciated! The action you mention is a little expensive at almost 200$, but well worth it if you have multiple vehicles to diagnose!
Michael Picardi Yes it's high! But codes can be deceiving. I myself had on my car to get codes and it wasn't what the code said. I had vacuum at the EGR at idle and I got EGR position sensor codes. It was the purge valve. I got oxygen sensor running rich codes and it was the MAP sensor. The Troubleshooting tips menu helped me. OBDI only gives basic codes. So, a cheap tester will do, basically. High idle can be the CTS. It can be the ISC if it says ISC. There aren't any codes for the module. If the timing mark flutters, it's the module.
@@martystevens3969 does the actron cp9690 work on 94 mustangs? i have a 94 v6 pony with the obd ll under the dash but in this video, michael is using the obd l reader. i would like to purchase a scanner that can read domestic cars from 94 (with obd ll) on up. ive looked at launch however they start at the year range of 96.
@dannyphillips7573just plug the connectors into the code reader. They are located behind the passenger strut tower. May be tucked down there and need to be fished out.
Got the reader have a 87 foxbody my codes are 94, 44, 31 would any of these cause issues with bucking, hesitating or should o look somewhere else, any suggestions

Just fyi.. Nobody has manufactured a cancer stick lighter in a vehicle for decades 😂 they are just power outlets now

you should have shown us how to connect it to the....EEC!
You just plug it in. It only goes on one way

Clean ass 94
Which Numbers were you needing? Which can you Ignore?
Thanks for the video it helps!
Thing does not work on my car
