Wade: Your ALDL information is on pins A & B, which you get by shorting
these pins out with a 20 K resistor, a 10 K ohm resistor, or a 3.9 K ohm
resistor depending on the type of system you have. Pin D is where the
information comes out, in the form of a lamp level voltage (zero to
twelve volts). Your check engine lamp will oscillate with the digital
data.
If you use a 20K resistor instead of the 10 K resistor, your car runs in
"normal mode" instead of the diagnostics mode, but provides the 20 byte
data stream anyway. The 3.9 K resistor puts your car in limp-home mode
with a backup spark and fuel control map.
Give that a try.
