OBDII Scanner can't connect(Resolved) I have tried 4 or 5 different scanners and they all have the same message. "Error communicating with vehicle".
I have checked the following on the ALDL port,
pins 4 and 5 for ground, pin 16 for 12 volts with key on and I verified continuity from the blue PCM harness pin 7 to ALDL pin 2.
The car runs and drives fine but the SES light is on and it's running rich.

This problem started after I installed the engine out of a 95 Firehawk. I used my PCM and harness. The 95 doesn't have a Crankshaft position sensor so that would be a DTC. I installed my EVAP solenoid, coil and a new 96 Knock sensor. My rear O2s have been disabled in a previous tune by Madtuner.

Problem solved!
Put this one in the "Dumbest things I've done" thread.
Here's what happened. During the time I was swapping engines, I ended up with 3 PCMs. One was my original(OBD2), one was out of the 95 Firehawk(OBD1) that I parted out and a 3rd one. I had marked each of them, but, somehow I switched the 96 with the 95 and installed it in my car.
I discovered this when trying out the other PCMs to see if the one in the car was fried. The car ran better and I checked the service numbers and Voilla!
All the pieces of the puzzle fell together after that. The high idle, running rich, the ALDL port not working, etc.
