Default Obd1 scanner help needed

My car seems to be missing
I want to use a scanner to see which cylinder is missing
All the scanners I've tried are obd2
Does anyone know of an Autozone or advanced auto in Polk that can scan obd1?
All help is appreciated
Thanks

No no Autozones or advance type places can do it. Some shops can or I know autoze sells a obd1 scanner for like $30. It plugs in and you have to count the flashes. Or you can jump the plug, using something like a paper clip. I would not recommend it but it can be done. A few years ago Autozone use to give code keys for obd1. Which would make the check engine light flash and you would count the flashes. Some people still have them.

They make an OBD1-2 cable adapter. I got one on order. We'll see if it works lol
AutoXray is the ticket. Paperclip and such will only read codes not monitor live data....

I've had my Auto x-ray for about 10 years or so, been a great tool and definitely worth the money I spent on it back then
