An O2 socket and a ratchet is what I used. There was 'just enough' room.

That Actron scanner is no more than a plug with a switch in the box to short the two pins. If may say it works on 94's on the box, but it does not. Been more than a few people here who have bought one, and taken it back when it doesn't work.

I ended up using crowfoot with universal and long extension. Engine now comes out of open loop but after 20minutes of running and under hard accelaration there is a knock and can see it retarding the timing.

Re: Can't retrieve fault codes.

Finally got the car running last night, ended up being the dist cap shorting out internaly once it got hot. The cap is only 1 year old and was bought from Jason ( ordered complete GM opticrap ), so much oem parts being better than aftermarket. Can't wait till MSD starts shipping their cap and rotor.
