TPI Computer Question

I am having a problem with reading my codes. I am getting a "veh. not responding" the problem is that its running fine but it did have a incident where it backfired and bucked a few times. I thought it was in limp home mode but it Starts good......runs good.....has power it always did. Could the computer still be bad and the rest go so well.


Thanks for the input

No, no light I got a code from it a few weeks ago for the EGR. Thats how I know the ALDL is working.

another one along the same lines-when the key is turned to run-not start-does the check engine illuminate at all? are you able to induce a code by disconnecting a sensor or 2? what are you using to pull codes? didja try the ancient yet still useful, a plus b plus paperclip=flashing trouble codes? need more info. has anyone been futzing around under the dash that didnt have proper clearance to perform such a task? CAR STEREO/ALARM INSTALLERS? hacking gleefully away-look at all the pretty wires, snipsplicetapeoopsyikes
