That makes a lot of since. It was running rich, so much so you could smell it. It's still got the cats on it, so that was surprising. I do home it gets better economy, too, it was running less than 12 MPG before! That's pretty bad!

I run into this alot. And it always surprises me. Starting in 1980 1/2, dealership techs needed a scan tool to fix what were then "new" cars.Schurkey, I wasn't aware of a scan tool for OBD1,
do you have a recommendation for such a tool?
Me, too. The ancient Red Brick. They quit supporting them in 2009, and they quit making them before that.I use a Snap-On MT2500 and dig it.
I was thinking of doing the same, they're backwards compatible then? Since my brick still works I haven't researched any of the models that followed, I see Eric O. on SMA using a Solus but the one he has is still pretty spendy....When my '2500 dies, I'll likely find a somewhat newer Snap-On scan tool (Solus Pro--Solus Ultra, maybe) but there's plenty of choices. "I" would rather have a used "professional-grade" scan tool than a brand-new "consumer-grade" tool.
Sometimes a consumer-grade tool will only read the engine computer. Professional-grade tools should read engine, trans, ABS, air bag, instrument cluster, etc.
