I can't get a link damnit. My friend brought over his snap-on scan tool and it wouldn't link either. He said that if were an after market chip then it might be the culprit. But i'm not buying that. could that be the problem or could it be something else????

 

There are some possibilities for that to occur.
Slim, but possible.
At worst, trying different model years, or car models should solve that. ie Y instead of F body. and then pre and post 88 for the MAFs.

For a while they played some games, so as to make it hard for folks to see what they were really getting for their money.

 

thanks Grumpy i'll give that a try
