Checking codes on a 97 z28 with a obd1 pcm.

I put a 94 lt1 motor and pcm in a 97 car and need to check the codes. Will autozone or somebody be able to check them or how should I go about this. Thanks a lot.

I think you'll have issues with going to Autozone. They have trouble with the 95's which have the OBD2 connector but is an OBD1 computer. If you know your pinout diagram you can scan it yourself with a cable and software like datamaster....

You might want to repost this in the computer related section...there is probably an answer out there for you...

The cables can be had at akmcables.com among others.
You can get datamaster software from ttspowersystems.com

I'd recommend you call each of those vendors before placing the order just to be sure they understand your situation...knowledge ahead of time could save you headaches later...

Good Luck !

If you already have a laptop computer you could go with an ALDL cable and laptop route. There is a program called freescan that will get you started. Google AKM cable.
