hook up for comp scan??

[97lt1]

I've got access to a NGS (Ford's scanner) I can take a look at it next week and see if the 02's are working properly. I can also check some other things that might cause bad gas mileage.

I probably wouldn't be able to look at until Thursday or Friday.

yeah my camaro gets @15-18 mpg. i thought i was gonna save money driving this ***.
if the o2's are cheap ill just replace em and see if anything changes

well if they were bad before heath sold it to you then im sure they are still bad unless you replaced em...

[camzaro28]

did heath have the car scanned? or is he just guessing that they are bad? if he is just assuming they are bad, that will not make me replace em.

and there 50$ apiece

Brian, take it over to Autozone, Advanced Auto, etc.. Take your pic. They can all hook up a scanner and read the codes and check if anything is out of whack.

Don't know what year his SHO is but they will only scan OBD2 cars (96 & up).

You can scan OBD1 cars, there is a diagnostic port. I know I tried on my mustang over at advanced auto.

I'll have to keep it in mind for the near future. It's currently sitting in my parents garage 55 miles away so it'll require me getting back into Fargo with it.

I know there is a DLC on OBDI cars, I just don't think autozone will scan them.
