OBD-I Diagnostic Cable?
Alright, so my dad's '95 Mustang GT (bone stock except for Flowmasters) is running like crap. It arbitrarily lacks power, returns to idle RPM very slowly, and sometimes hangs out at 1500 RPM in neutral/clutch disengaged. It's obviously something sensor related, but the OBD-I flashing engine code diagnostics leave a lot to be desired. What kind of cable to do I need, ALDL or MECS, to connect this thing to my laptop? Software like WinALDL is free, so I could easily diagnose the thing with the proper cable. Also, I'm assuming a GM ALDL OBD-I cable isn't the same pinout, right?
