Engine Dead, Can't pull codes

[slapnpop]

'95 ATX

Long story short, the engine died at a red light today. Only a 1/2 mile home I pushed...

Anyway, I can't pull codes. I have the connectors, I jumper them, the same way that always worked on my MTX, but no codes come out. I suspect there may be a break in one of the two wires along the way.

Is there a way to jumper at the ECU or some other "up stream" location directly?

I wouldn't do that personally. Check all your connections man. That will be your best first step. Clean em and tighten em down. Good luck to you man Let us know what you find out.

Check the 10A IGN Coil fuse in the under-hood box.

If blown, disconnect the electrical connector on the coolant overflow tank before replacing the fuse.

One of the two wires had a break about an inch up from the connector. Jumper the two wires directly together upstream of the connectors and she spits out codes.
