Long story short...I don't have the physical spot to read codes under my hood...but I see the PCM might and I'm wondering if that's my next option for retrieving any codes.
93 model, fuel injected, 5 speed, ~350,000 miles, fourth owner, resurrected 3800 miles ago (October 2016) after 5+ years of storage by previous owner. At one point in the late 90's it was stolen from California and ended up abandoned in Texas over a year later (who knows how that happened), so I'm assuming the car wasn't necessarily well cared for in the past...
Under my hood I DO HAVE:
-white single-pin rpm connector (not a yellow/green wire)
-black six-pin connector (only three wires in it)
-black two-pin connector (where the two are positioned 90 degrees from each other)
Under my hood I DO NOT HAVE:
-any other single-pin connectors in that area
-any yellow wires with green stripes/tracers
Just to be sure, I grounded the pins from the white single-pin rpm connector, and both pins on the two-pin connector (one at a time, of course)...and then repeated those tests again using a second grounding spot. I'm ruling out "stupid owner disease" as best I can.
The PCM has a Data Link Connector (STI) at pin K...and pin K uses a yellow/green wire.
Unless there's another way to get the codes, is it possible to read them by grounding pin K?
I've spent literally two days working on this...under the hood and online...and I'm pretty sure there's not a thread about this particular thing yet.
(Saying this is the surest way for someone to post a link to the Exact Thing I'm talking about, making it look like I never bothered to use the Search feature. If that's the case, I'll gladly eat my humble pie if I can figure out how to read my codes!)
SINCERE THANKS IN ADVANCE. I'm dead in the water right now. :-(
