Default OBD1 Problem

I have a 94 LT1 6 speed and i am having trouble with the OBD1 system or so i think. Recently me and my dad have hooked up a Tech 2 Scanner on the my car and evertime it tries to "talk' to the pcm it has an error that the connectoin was lost. i know that the Tech 2 was disigned for OBD2 but my dad said it should still work. he is an instructor for the GM Certification course. As far as OBD1, I was under the influence that you could put a paper clip in the first ans second hole on the dignostic port and the SES light would flash a certain number of times for that code. Mine simply flashes really fast and forever when i tried it. Please help i think i might have a seriuos problem. I posted this in the PCM forum but i figuered that people with OBD1 would not look there as much

That doesn't work on 94+ cars. You need a obdI scanner or software with a cable to read the code.

Just plug in the Tech 2 and use "S" for the tenth vin. I believe it will all be good
