what cable do i need to hook my pc to the aldl?? where can i get it?? --dont tell me to buy a lap top, il borrow one lol --

 

What type of program are you wanting to use? A two transistor will work with most programs. Go to http://moates.net select "software" and scoll down Craig has a couple of different schematics. If you are just wanting to buy one you can go and check out AKM cables.

 

i ment what cable to attatch from the aldl in my car, to the back of the computer, to run diagnostics, timing settings, etc etc, im not trying to write my own proms or anything, just trying to check some stuff out thats going on with the engine

Has the software and the link cable schematic. This software and cable works on your TBI car.

 

Yeah, the 2 transistor cable is the easiest to build, and connects to your ALDL and plugs into your COM port on your laptop.

 

I might be wrong but you may not be able to use the Winaldl because it is for the 160 baud ecms. I am not sure about the tbi but Tpi uses 8192 baud rate ecm. Try Craig moates software or Datamaster.

 

He has a TBI car, unless his sig is innaccurate. The 2-Transistor cable and Craigs software are for 8192 baud ECMs.

 

nah my sig is correct

 

Cool, then yuo can use the link I posted above. I have used both the cable and the software successfully on my 92 RS, with a 305 TBI. Good luck!

 

Cool, I learned something. I wasn't sure what the TBI cars ran. Now I know thanks.

 

this will retrieve engine running data?? im not trying to burn my own prom, just trying to see engine specs..

 

Yes, it will give you all the info you need. Speed, RPM, SES Codes, 02 values, all that stuff. Check out the site, it'll tell you all you need to know.

 

lol anyone wanna build me a cable??please?? ill pay ya and all for your time and the pars and all.....

 

The cable is EZ to make. Do you know anyone with a soldering pen? It will take you litteraly all of 20 minutes to make one up, probably including the trip to radio shack for the parts

 

Andrew Mattei wants to build you a cable...and you can pay him for his time and materials.
