? on scanning a 95 OBDII/OBDI

well i have a 95 with a OBDII connector but my hypertech will connect but cant scan it. I also have a laptop with LT1 edit for OBDII and some scan program but i know that the cable is locked to 2 vins(other than my 95) so i havent tried to scan it with that yet but since the cord is locked so i havent tried. I figure my car is a OBDI since im a sigle cat car an my scaneer wont read it but like i said its got the OBDII connector. what do i need to do to scan this?? any help is appreciated

Firs thing is first. You are right about your car being and OBD-1. Second thing is your hypertech wont scan your computer unless you have the power scan cartridge. Thirdly, if you do have the OBD-2 version of LT1 edit it wont do you any good obviously cause you have an OBD-1 pcm. Also you can't use your hypertech cable with your laptop to scan the pcm because you need an interface between the laptop and the pcm also I dont believe the hypertech uses a standard serial port connector on the end of it. Not sure its been a while since I had mine.
Check out www.akmcables.com and Andrew will get you just the cable you need and then do a serach for either datamaster or freescan. Both are free dataloggin programs which you can scan DTC's with.
