Default No signal from ALDL (DLC) with engine running.

I have an 01 Camaro PCM
With the engine off / key on, I can read codes, see all of my sensors in real time.
I can even apply read/write using Winflash.
As soon as I start the engine, I lose connection and I can't get it back until I shut the car off.

The same code scanner works just fine on my Van and my Tahoe. (engine running or not)

I verified that pins 4 and 5 are grounded.
I verified that pin 16 is 12v (12.88 actually, just like the battery)


What am I missing?
Not being able to datalog is making tuning a real pain.

Default

Figured it out.
Ed suggested that I unplug my alternator.
Sure enough ... the problem went away.

I'll get that repaired or replaced.
