scanning codes

Helpful hint.....
Add a "signature" showing the year of your car, model, engine, trans and any major mods. Without this info, people like the first person to respond may be giving you incorrect info, since not all years of the LT1 can be scanned with an OBD-II scanner. One year can actually be read by shorting the ALDL pins.

i have a 94 z28. I may have found my problem. I dont think I have a ground from the block to the chassis, and I know atleast with old motors that you need this in order for the car to run. Any opinions?

I also have a 94 Z28, and I have a cheep little actron code scanner. It doesn't give me information though. I guess it is only for really old oBD1 cars, like TPI's. What kind of code scanner should I get?

If you have no battery cable ground to the engine, it's not even going to start. There is also a braided ground strap from the driver's side chassis to one of the coil studs.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? I had a problem with the fuel pump where the car would start when it was cold, but when it was started it would not restart until it sat overnight, even if it only ran for a couple of minutes. Engine would turn over normally, but it would not start until several hours went by.

There is a Schrader valve on the fuel rail that you would connect a fuel pressure gauge to.
