Is there ny free scan software that can retrieve trouble codes.

 

The easiest way is to use a paper clip to jump terminals A+B on the ALDL and count the flashes of the check engine light. WinALDL and Craig Moates Software are free scanning tools.

 

my ses light will not flash for trouble codes.I have a cable that Mr. Ruse sold me.I can scan using moates software fine.But when I jump the a-b terminals I get no response from the ses,it just acts normal(w/ no grounded terminal).I wonder if the diag cable is the cause .I cant get a flashing ses w/ terminals grounded,not even a flicker.So there is no free software that retrieves trouble codes??What about a functioning shareware?

 

he just told you two.

 

winaldl is not for the 730

 

Does the bulb come on at all?

 

Everything works fine but just no response from grounding terminals.In fact I'm gettin a hard falt code,ses stays on sometimes and car runs rough.The car ran fine untill a few days ago started with the ses intermittenly saying on.I was hoping there was some free software out there that can get falt codes.I like moates software,it is very nice.But I can't get codes and I don't have accell.I wish winaldl worked for the 730.I love the way it logs&maps data.My autojunkray scanner pooped out on me.So now I'm stuck.what about car bytes?I've heard a wisper about it.

 

Even though my cars ses will not flash for codes I did scan it.The mat was bad,if anyone cares.

 

If you need to swap the MAT, I would look at using a relocated and use my "MAT Tables" to adjust. I found that with a 7730, that with the correct table and relocated MAT that I obtained better consistency than the stock setup in the plenum.

Also, if you MAT takes a dump, you can always stick a 4.7K resistor to "get you around" while you wait for your MAT sensor. The 4.7K resistor corresponds to 55*F. Better than an SES code which causes various "fail safe" code to invoke.

 

That is a great tip ,it will stick with me.I bought a new mat,the style I use tends to be in stock.But that's another story.I've seen the post with your mat tables.I'll use that but I have a k&n on the tb.On my maf setup I relocated the mat to the air inake tract.I was'nt trying the mat relocator trick for more hp.I know the mat is more 1d w/ maf.But there is too much heat soak under the plunum.My question is where is a good spot for my car.I could mount it to the filter,cut a hole for the mat an such.But right now I have it mounted in the engine compartment.That seems to be a fair spot bc the filter is drawing air in from the engine compartment.I'm going to be making a cold air setup.It is starting to get warm round here.I have a killer design but will have a hard time finding some 4in pipe.I'm thinking about using header wrap or that alluminum insulation to wrap the pipe.I'll show you it when I get to together.It'll be a very tricked out piece.But for my winter setup where would you suggest the mat?

 

A relocated MAT (with corresponding corrections to the table) is not actually for HP in my opinion. It's more for consistency.

As for relocating, the best place is as close to the TB as possible. I am personally not a fan of the TB mounted K&N filters as they tend to pull in hot under hood air. But it does look nice.

 

thats why I use the tb mounted filter in the winter.But this spring and I'll need to get my butt in gear to make the cold air intake.I relocated the mat to get a realistic measure of the incoming air.What does your mat look like?My original one for the 85 was a solid metal sensor.
