Default CAn't read codes.....
Call it a 88-91 vette, L98 style, computer #1227730 speed density....old tyme plug in....all of a sudden a couple weeks ago, after I got everything back together and running, I noticed engine seems a tad unhappy, nothing gross, just like maybe some sensor....I have gone through wiring and crap like mad....nothing, 5 volts on TPS and MAP sensor....plenty of fuel pressure....

engine starts/run immediately.....I changed out the computer and programming pod/chip with a known good unit....same shit will not read codes or even let me look at the operating levels....code reader goes into lockdown...engine setting there idling like nothing rong.....
