"Magical Paperclip" OBD-I Service Code Reader
So I've been looking around for an OBDI scanner for my carPC, when I stumbled across a debate of diagnostic code reader vs a paperclip. According to what I've read, you shove one end of the paperclip into the pin labelled "TEN" and one into the ground pin, and the check engline light should come on and blink the codes? Is this true, Arch, and if so do you know of any better documentation on it?

That's pretty interesting. Btw, do you know of any good software that reads OBD-I that would scan and tune? The more I think about it the more I like the idea of having a OBD-I prorgam running on the carPC taking car diagnostics while I drive. that'd be pretty sweet.

there actually are tons of things that you can get to hook a PC up to your car and tune it..but not for the 3.4.
and this paperclip thing only works on 93. thats what i heard. i havent tried it on mine...
