no codes
hey guys
I've just switched my 1988 TBI Fbody to 1991 TPI. Everything started up great. Seems to be pretty responsive... But yet I have my engine light constantly on... then after turning the engine off and just turning the key on I can't get the codes out of the light when I jump the two terminals at the ADL port. By the way I'm using a SD harness from Painless. I'm figuring it's something to do with my Map sensor... I'm getting a lot of black smoke during idle. I've got everything alse on the car to work so far- haven't been opn the road yet to try my cruise control though...
Any other suggestions?

Make sure that one of the terminals in the aldl is a ground. Without a ground in the proper connector it will be impossible to "pull codes" using the two terminal connection method.

first off does the painless wiring harness have the data wire that runs to the ALDL? if it does, make sure your ALDL ground is good. Black smoke at idle indicates rich, so you could have several culprits here. a bad o2 sensor could cause this. also a bad map sensor. among others. you need to get the codes out of the computer somehow
