I have an 88 ecm and I can only get the first 5 or so lines to give me data in WINALDL. what else do i have to setup besides telling it the ecm #??? 1227165 also is there any list of what all the information means??

On my 87 I have to have a 10K resistor in the cable between pins A & B to get data flowing. If you've tried that, you might also experiment with different baud rates in WINALDL.

Since you have the 165 ecm, I would look at using Moates software or Datamaster. Both are free, but Datamaster will cost you if you want more than the 20 free trial sessions.

What do I download on the MOATES site? there are a few programs listed including protuner rt which I tried and couldnt get to work either.

It's been a while since I used the moates software so I don't remember what is what on his site. What cable are you using ??

I got it from aldlcable.com the OBD1 serial cable

I just looed at it again and it says something about a resistor on the cable end can be repositioned between ports A and B for late 80s cars. I'll have to look at it again today and see if i can get it to work.

So I got my WinALDL to work and read everything. What does DRP Occured mean in the WM2 Flag data tab? And it never goes to closed loop even after running the engine for 5 min at operating temp. WHat should my O2 sensor read? it only goes as high as about .85.

You need it

Yeah as soon as i put it in the right place it started streams of data that I dont understand!

Forget WinALD, now that you have the 10k resistor in, try Datamaster.
