Can you point me in the direction of an odb 1 scanner (Page 1/2)
Fiero Thomas JUN 02, 06:40 PM
Hello I am not having any luck finding an odb1 scanner for the fiero. Everything on eBay comes up as odb2. I get a code after driving for about 20 min but it is cleared as soon as I shut the key off. So I need one that can capture it while I am driving. Thank you in advance.

reddevilriver.com is pff member and has a few versions and cheap.

OBD1 should save all codes even w/ engine off unless you reset the ECM or ECM has problems or crap reset wire in engine bay.
Capture data may not tell you anything w/o knowing what is normal etc. See my Cave, Scan Tool Help and others.
Scan for codes before shutdown might help or not.

Note: Scanning causes issues itself like higher idle because ECM does not like "multitasking" trying to run the car and stream data to read.

Is nothing but a paperclip to read "codes" on dash IOW crap.

I've used the Bluetooth OBD1 from RedDevil, and although it is a little glitchy at times, it did the job for me. I was able to use it real time while driving to read the BLM and INT numbers to get my Fuel Injection properly programmed on my El Camino project. Works well with an Android phone ( or in my case an Android Radio) and ALDLdroid app. Just expect some disconnects.

You can also use an OBD1 cable connected to a laptop, and use TunerPro RT software to do the same thing. Pre-made cables are available from Reddevil, or online.

That doesn't have the cartridge for the GM cars 1984-1990. . Probably won't scan . Try to find an Actron CP-9110 scan Tool with the 1984-1990 GM cartridge. This is the scan tool that we use.

I actually have a video on how to use that one, here's a clip with the Fiero-specific parts:



As far as reading codes on Fieros, I prefer the Snap-On MT2500, bit more versatile.

I have the OTC 2000 scanner mentioned above. It's definitely dated, but works fine with the stock Fiero ECMs (including the 87-88 Duke). I'm actually thinking of selling it, because I don't have any use for it anymore.
