Hi,

Just getting acquainted with my "brand new" 1986 Z28 with LG4 engine (all matching numbers the seller claims and my first Camaro after 25 years of Corvette). I'm not a mechanic, but I do want to learn how to do things myself and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Just replaced shocks and a leaky radiator on my '86 Corvette and starting to get excited about fixing stuff myself.

My Camaro is immaculate , but it does have a few items on the agenda concerning the engine: the Service Engine Soon light is on and I'm getting the feeling that it's running rich. When I suddenly step on the gas, the car hesitates, then follows. When I try WOT on the freeway, the hesitating takes longer and the engine seems to mumble a bit without actually accelerating.

I guess I can read the error code first by shorting out two points on the ODB port?

 

Putting a hairpin in pin 6 and 5 on the OBD port is not giving me any error codes, SES light is not flashing

 

Is your OBD connector look like this?



You need to jump terminals A&B.

 

Yes, my ODB connector looks the same, but I seem to have a different pin layout: mine has most pins on top and where M is on the picture, my connector doesn't seem to have a pin, just an empty hole.

But I did jump A & B on this picture, didn't work though.
