I have a 1996 Camaro with the obd2 connector and I have a obd1 conversion pcm.I am going to buy tunercat for obd1 and I need to know what cable to buy.

 

Anyone
I tried emailing a few places that sell cables but it seems customer service is not good these days and they didnt respond back

 

Hey go here i bought it for 40 bucks and it does obd1 and 2 style connectors www.mastach.com even comes with some cool free software ive already used it to tune my 95 worked great

 

Get a cable for a 95. In 95 they used the obd1 computer but the cable is a obd2 style plug. Im not sure where i got mine it was amk or akm or something like.

 

Thats not gonna work. The pin arangement was totally different. I'm going through this myself as I installed a post 97 dash and interior harness. So now I have an OBD I PCM but a OBD II connector. The only two wires you should need to scan the car are a power and PCM wire. Both of wich lead back to the PCM. You should be able to an OBD II cable. I'll have to throw the scanner on my 94 and see what happens.

 

Well I just tried to scan my car using my Auto-Xray scanner. I used my OBD II cable but scanned it as an OBD I. NOTHING... Also tried to scan it as an OBD II with the same result.

I'd get up with AKM cables and ask them what you need.

 

A 95 cable will work. My buddy has a 97 with an OBD1 pcm and he uses a 95 style cable.

 

I hope so I dont want to spend the money and it be worthless

 

It should work if it doesn't you have some other problems. I've used my cable for my 95 on my buddies 97SS and i've used it on my other buddies 97Z. My friend with the 97Z has used his on my car as well and on the other guys 97SS. So if it doesn't work for you, you have other issues.

 

I'll try my 95 cable with the Auto Xray today and let ya know.

Re'

 

The 95 speciffic cable would not work with my Auto Xray. Don't know if the problem is related to the OBD II connector with an OBD I PCM or not. I suppose it will just be easier to install an OBD I connector and be done with it.

Thats OBDII connector with an OBD1 pcm isn't the problem, thats how 95's are. An OBDII connector with an OBD1 pcm.

 

ok here is what you do
go to http://akmcables.com/ic.htm and you want item number 2. if you are using a newer laptop you prob wont have rs232 cable port, so you need to get the usb kit cost is 90 dollars.

dont let anyone tell you it wont work cause they are fullof crap.
I have a 96 with a obd1 conversion, and it is what i use.

 

Exactly. I have a 95 and scan it with AUTO XRAY OBDII connector. With the AUTO XRAY, it has to to set up(loaded) for whichever PCM you are scanning(OBDI or II). The connector doesn't determine the PCM.

 

thankyou
