Anyone Use FreeScan Software? I bought a cable for my OBDI 94Camaro from AKM cables and tuner cats. The only other things I would like to have the ability to do is check/clear DTC's and do data loging.
I downloaded FreeScan from here

However I cant seem to get this sofware to comunicate with the car at all. Has anyone else who has used this software sucessfuly know if I am doing something wrong?

You will frequently have to use the "force communication" or something like that button. Andy has done a great thing by offering that for free and I thank him, but honestly it is tough to use, fairly unstable and the logs are even harder to read. Might I suggest you try Datamaster from The Turbo Shop it is a $90 program but the first 20 recording sessions are free so they can get you hooked.

in freescan when you open it, make sure it is set up for the b/f body 5.7 LT1. The on the same control panel, on the right will be listen and force data. Click on listen. Then on the left click "start". after it counts up to @ 10,000+, go back to force data and hit interact. there ya go.
