What's the cheapest code scanner for a 1994 Trans am LT1 automatic? When I put my car in drive or reverse it stalls out. My engine light is NOT on so could the scanner still read problems also?

Free scanning software and a cable.

Cable - this guy used to sell them, but he has a link to someone who does:

Look up the codes specifically for the LT1:

If you want a hand-help scanner, the Actron CP9145 will work, with the correct optional OBD-I cable.Fred

cheapest scanner for OBD-1 is a paper clip or a jumper wire. (DON'T DO THIS WITH OBD-II) The furthest right 2 terminals on the plug in for the OBD-I connector, key off, jump those 2 terminals with your high $ paper clip, turn key on (no start just on) watch the check engine light, it will start blinking, count the blinks. for example it will blink, paws blink blink it will repeat this 5 times this is a code 12 witch is no codes stored in computer. If there are more then 1 code stored it will (example) blink blink blink paws blink blink (code 32) 5 times then blink blink paws blink blink blink (code 23) it will keep doing this until all the codes are read. then it will start over. make sure to watch the light when you turn the key on, don't miss a blink. Its been a while sense I messed with OBD-I systems. Write the codes down, call your favorite parts store and ask them what the codes are. If there not nice enough to give you the code definitions, find new parts store. LOL good luck.SHwy1
