No Data Link problem Recently, my car has been down for a month for a clutch swap, valve spring & pushrod change.
Now that I have my car up and running again, I went to plug my scanmaster in and I received, no reading. I thought maybe something happened to the SM so I plugged in my HPP III and got the same result.
I was under the dash during the install of the McLeod Master cylinder and I had to work around the wire harness' but none of them were near the ALDL connector. Not to mention, those 5 wires go straight up and towards the center of the car from what I can see, and not towards the harness' by the clutch pedal.
I dont have any service manuals to troubleshoot the wires by, but my guess is there is a power wire, ground wire, data wire to PCM, and a couple others. But until I know where they terminate at the other end, I'm screwed.
Has anyone ever had this happen before and can give me any ideas of where to look?
Thanks,
Jeff
oh yes, its a 99LS1 Formula

I'll check that today. I hope its this easy!!! If so, I must have popped the fuse while I was removing the console somehow. Thanks horist, I'll let you know if that fixes it.Jeff
I checked out your pics on your web page. NICE ride!!! I've got a webpage for my Z28 (in sig) but I need to put together one for my new formula project car.

That was it! Thanks, I really appreciate the insight. I would have ended up wasting a day shooting wires.
