andy 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'm in the process of building a diagnostic interface at the moment, it should cost about £30 all in, it will run using the Ross-Tech shareware code. It won't do everything that the full Ross-Tech system does but will log fault codes etc which is what most people want it for, Ross Tech leads/software start at about £130. Will keep you posted...

FishWick 21 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 The OBD1 socket is the same as the OBD2 one on 94 model year cars, other wise you'll need the 2+2 adapter as mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites
