hi, and thanks for getting back to me .
will my car give a code being that it is a 1995 model. the engine in this car has been changed out and every since then the car has not started. will it have codes on it yet?
and when i tested he 5 pin connecter that hooks up to the coil with a led light and the light did not flash when i tried to crank car, does that matter that the coil is not recieving a signal, and that maybe the coil is still bad? when i hooked up the led light to the 5 pin connector does the led light suppose to flash when car is being cranked? the led light does come on when hooked up to 5 pin connector when car is turn on but will not flash.
