Okay. This is my Dad's 87. Aftermarket chip. Car runs and drives fine. Check Engine Light works but is not on. Recently TurboLink was giving goofy data, saying codes are set, etc. After trying several things I started to think the interface cable is bad. And of course you can't get those anymore. Couldn't compare to my '84 because it's half apart at the moment.
Anyway, Dad decides to finally invest in a scanmaster. I hooked it up. Key on - engine not running, scanmaster behaves fine. I can scroll through data, etc. I start the car, I get the "2.1" display for a second then nothing. Dead. Zilch. Only time I can get data is key on engine not running. I connected it to the orange wire at the ALDL port. I still have 12V with it running.
Could this be an issue with the ECM? Car runs just fine, which is what bothers me. Any ideas?
