Jared A. Parker (Nstallmaster) | Tuesday, October 09, 2001 - 10:19 am Does anyone know the differences between the ALDL connector on hot air cars and intercooled cars? I am trying to pull data from the computer, but scanners and laptops cannot get a connection for some reason. I have converted to the 87 ECM, and added a MAT sensor. This is in an 84 GN. Also, I am trying to decide whether or not my torque converter clutch is operating. I have tried to short pins A and F in the ALDL connector to force the clutch to lockup, but it doesn't seem to work, and it sets an error code 31. Any information would be helpful. |

Jared A. Parker (Nstallmaster) | Tuesday, October 09, 2001 - 04:07 pm The ECM connectors ARE a little corroded. Could this cause problems such as these? If so, is there a way to clean these plugs, or should I just replace them? |
