What obd1 scanner do you guys use?
I'm looking into a ses light and trying to get a scanner on the car. My father has a blue point obd2 scanner and when I bought the cable to go from a 2 to a 1 it wont scan. So I'm asking you guys, what do you personally use?
I'm trying to do something more than the paper clip method because with that all I get is code 12 and that's just telling me that there are no codes. (If that's the case whys the light on?)

I use a old otc pathfinder for obd1. Have you verified the code 12 with blinking the codes ?
if you just have a code 12 and the mil is on you might have a bad ecm.
if you need a ecm and have tpi send me a pm I have a few 1227730 ecms

good to know, I'll keep it in mind when I figure out if my ECM is bad or not.

If you have a Android device you can install ALDLdroid, you will need the correct files to go with your ecm. You can read your codes with that. You will also need a obd1 cable. Another option is A Tech 1 if you can get a hold of one.
