TOM -


Yours is a Tech1 and Phil has a Tech1(a) - they require very different cords, adapters etc.

The MSC will work with either. For your Tech1 to do '94 & '95 cars I believe all you need is the 02001575 I mentioned which is the same as the 3000053. You don't seem to have that or you didn't include a snapshot.

NOTE on the one adapter combination (snapshot #4) the one component is actually molded (DO NOT USE WITH TECH1A)

Perhaps Jim or GC will post a snapshot of the 02001575/3000053 which you would need for '94 & '95. With a Tech1 I've used that adapter to do Buick '95 which share the same 1.5 or BETA OBD.

Jim can maybe post a snapshot of the other I mentioned I believe Phil needs for the Tech1(a). That's the 02001384 which I believe in an earlier thread years ago he mentioned having.

The manual I have from Vetronix/Bosch has some very good images of configurations but they've erred in adapter ID in a couple. Once ID'd I might edit the .pdf with part#'s. I took down a couple images I had posted because the mention PIN-E in the images and it's NOT PIN-E.

I've always thought YOUR 3 piece combination(snapshot #4) is meant to be used for true OBD2 in '96 or newer using the Tech1. Have you actually used it on your '94? I have the same package for my Tech1. Mine ain't as pretty as yours though - well used or abused maybe fits.

Here's a 6 year old thread where Jim mentions having the adapters that I mentioned:
