[sm=feedback.gif]can anyone help me with a diagnostic link problem. Ibrought a 98 eclipse gs that had a bad engine and ecm, the car had been sitting up for at least three years. replaced the engine, fuel pump, alternator, ecm, starter, and fuel filter. car has many other issue that need to be address but i can't ge any power to the diagnostic link. tried from two different places to check ( autozone and local shop ) and could not get any codes local shops said no communication and autozones never came on when connected. does anyone have any insight on this problem.

 

Check your fuses.

 

I have checked all the fuses in the car they all are good. this car has been sitting up for three plus years, i am not sure if the fuse box cover is the right one but all the fuses are good in the car and the car does not have the power it should have during accelaeration norduring driving and without the link working i can not check for codes.

 

Did you check for power at the data link connector?

 

don't know how to do that ttook the car to autozone and autozones computer would not come on when attached to the diagnostic link in the car. not the first time at another local garge the computer there said no communication, so how do i check that

 

Well you have to find out whay its not powering up a scan tool, if the fuse is good you probably have a broken wire from the fuse to the dlc.

 

do you know which fuse controls that link

 

is the fuse in the inside box or outside box

 

It should be the fuse box inside the car.

 

well all those fuses are good
