Do anyone know of a good code reader for 83-85 Fox body? If there is one let me know. I'm trying to chase down sensors to replace and turn off the check engine light.
paper clip
see my diy link below and contained within is a link to the drawing and a how to.
beyond a paper clip , it is also prudent to use a dc buzzer you can rob from a toy or something so you can attach it and "hear" the codes so you can write things down and not have to wonder if you blinked and missed something.
As above my code reader is a paper clip. Works fine :).
If you're lazy like me, this one can't be beat for cheap... I had two, gave one away when I sold the '93 Lightning...

Picture is purposely small so you can't see how ancient it is.
@Foe, Where did you get that from? That's a collectors item by itself.
@jcassity, Thanks for the diagram.
Ah you've got the fancy paper clip ;).
The shop (I work at the dealer) was throwing it out.
