Computer Question

Does anyone know what computer system, if any our 1987-1988 thunderbird have(obdII, obdI). etc. I recently met a kid with a vw who pirated a complete engine diagnostic setup(were you can see rpms, change all sots of settings like fuel air mixture and rmp limits). I was hoping to do the same for our cars. I dont know if this is possible tho. Anyone have any ideas?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

all you need is a paper clip and if you want a test light to see codes.

Seeing the stoich is another ball game.

Our cars are OBD .5... LOL...  OBD-I in my opinion are the EEC-IV systems that can also give engine temp, TPS voltage, etc when connected to a scanner(these are the three digit code systems)... EEC-V systems are OBD-II...
