Hi yall,,tach drops off then picks up,,seems like its missing,,dont think it is trans related,,how do you check codes for obd 2 on this,,cant remember which pins to jump ,,thanks in advance

 

Suggest going to a Autozone or other parts store for a free Obd2 scan. Write down the codes and post them for help.

good luck

 

I dont want to drive the car any more than needed, thanks for your reply, if anyone can answer my ?? like i asked i would appreciate it

 

Is the CEL on?

 

Thanks for the reply poorman, Yes it is on, Just came from church, i started it up, and it seems to run ok, gonna un hook the battery to try to clear the light, I have not drove the car since I got my truck so I dont know what is going on,,My son said when he started it,,the rpm went real low and all the lights on the dash flickered then rpms went high, then settled down and cel came on, thanks for your time and help on this,

 

I'm not a fan of clearing codes before I know what they are.....but at the same time I have done it more that once.

Never used the "jump" on an OBD_II....most of the 96's still had the "service" connector under/behind the glove box like the OBD-I Accord's.

A simple code reader can be had for not that much...less than $30 last time I looked and with the "fleet" you have and the willingness to do your own work, would be something I'd put on the wish list.

Behind the ashtray.......USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!

 

My 96 has both the blue connector behind the glove box and the obd 2 behind the ashtray,,which one should i do?

 

If you don't have a reader.....I'd feel better using the "blue service" connector behind the glove box.

There are tons of "conflicting" info on jumping the OBD-II connector..

 

Thanks for your time, I just drove it 13 miles and no light,wonder what it was, Ill check the blue connector and report back,

 

Well I drove it to work today, runs fine, no light , no miss, Maybe it was missing me?? I;ll keep yall posted, thanks to all who replied.
