Bummed out

I purchased an Autoxray 2500 code reader, and it tells me its unable to read when I hooked it up. Verified obd1 cable was installed properly...Jiggled it in the OBD socket, yet nothing. I had a performance chip put in the ECM by PCM4less and wondering if that may have something to do with it. I have the check engine light on and I'm tired of using the paper clip. Any suggestions other than calling the company ?

I don't, but a good place to start is to call the company and tell them whats going on.

Re: Bummed out

Return it and buy a real scantool, the AutoXray 7000...

Or use a paperclip...
