If you have a fair amount of experience at this then "go for it" but elseways just have a tech pull the codes and then your sure you got it right . You can also buy a code reader at any parts store rangeing from 50 -200 bucks. OBDI the cheapest which is what you have.
I have a Actron OBDII #CP9175 wonder if it will work? says 96 and newer, what ya think? I know the GM stuff used to have the plug to read codes under the steering colume, I have no idea where it is on this thing.
