 Post subject: OBDI engine in a '95 with OBDII port, how do I read the code

The 95 S10 I have is an OBDI system with the transitional OBDII connector. When an OBDII scanner is used it reads TPS, but when I test the TPS with a voltmeter it reads fine. I understand that this was the same as in 94-95 Vettes & Camaros. Can I jump the pins with a paperclip like the OBDI to get the correct codes? And if so what pins do I jump? I've been told to pull the connector and jump the 2 black or possibly the black and black w/white stripe wires. This is a cheap project & buying a scanner & adaptor for OBD1.5 is not an option.
So far I have replaced the TPS, IAC, cleaned the 2 year old EGR, and cleaned and used dialectric lube on all of the sensor connectors. It seems fine today, but the pattern is to run fine for a day or 2 and then the service engine light comes on and the idle goes to 1500 and it will surge at times.
Any help is appreciated guys.

I found a post on one of the LT1 Camaro forums that said to key in the model & year before reading the scanner. So the guy at Autozone broke out a different scanner this time, he had to key in '96 S10 (mine is a late year '95) and the only code was Evap cannister purge valve. But Autozone does not sell it. So I went to Pep Boys and put it in this morning. So far it runs great, :yes: Hopefully that issue is fixed now because everything else works perfectly. Hope this will help someone else.

Cool glad to hear you got it. Other than a vacuum leak don't no what effect a bad purge solenoid has on FI engines, On carbureted ones it would suck the fuel out of the float bowl.
