Stupidist Question of All time!

[MONICAZ34]

the 1994 z34 is OBD1 correct? If not what is it? Neither code readers will work in the data port. When I do the On Board SES light flicker thingy it doesn't even work if I jump the connectors like the Haynes manual tells me to.. whats the deal here?

[SappySE107]

Its OBD1 with some OBD2 parts in it.

if it makes you feel better that is not the stupidest question i have ever heard. i think the mymonte site has the dumbest lq1 questions i have ever read. one in particular was one guy asked where the wp pulley was iirc.

[MONICAZ34]

Okay my next question is... How come my OBD I code reader isn't working? Do the data terminals in this car get messed up? How do I check for that and how do I fix them?

You dont use an obd 2 scanner. You need a gm plug and you can pull up all the info needed, ex, ses codes

[robertisaar]

no, the stupidest question ever was this:
GM engineer: "do you think we should try something different and make not an OBD1 computer or an OBD2 but... OBD1.5!?

the rest is history

I am using a OBD 1 scanner, it has a couple of prongs on it a switch to go from OBD to ABS and it says it will work on my vehicle, but when I click the key once forward, all the SES light does is stay on. at a constant.

I even tried jumping the side by side terminals on the data port under the dash with a piece of speaker wire (like the hanes manual says to do) and the SES light just sat there with thumb in the but!

I have a 95 in which I have the OBD 1.5.

I bought a Actron Scanner that reads OBDI and OBDII and I just use the OBDI connector to read the codes from the car.

OBDI you can use a paper clip, but with the OBD 1.5 you cannot use a paper clip. Have to use a scanner. I tried taking my car to Autozone and they don't have the equip. to read our cars neither.

i have a dated autoxray scanner and it works fine on all the obd1 gm cars.

Autoxray works great mine also.

There are no stupid questions.

so what do I need to buy for my car?
