95 LT1 OBD1-2 problems

tm2k · 10-21-2006, 02:35 PM

I am just about to pull my hair out(whats left) trying to get this OBD cable to pull data from my laptop.

I tried to make my own cable and was just getting junk data. My car is a 95 LT1 and is suposidly an OBD1 data stream with an OBD2 connector. I bought a premade cable and am having the same problem.

What am I doing wrong? The data stream is there but its just crap data.

What software should I use? I have tried countless programs and none of them have my exact vehicle, closest was a 94 LT1 Camaro.

I use Datamaster. You can download their software and get a free trial of 20 scans.

I use datamaster also and tunercat for programming. I bought my usb cable from moates. Worked it's time no problems. A 95 with OBDI PMC and OBDII connector here also.

Thanks guys datamaster did the trick. I could not get any of the other programs to work but datamaster fired right up!

Thanks again.
