Did you turn the ignition to on and watch the engine light flash on the dash after you jumped the plug?

good luck finding your problem...
do us all a favor tho, and just tack onto your last thread instead of creating another one... keeps the boards a lil tidier...

how about following directions, particularly if you don't know what you're doing?
... or at least don't act so 'cocky'.

by pulling your codes via check engine light it will tell you the code for your tranny..

JEL - Did you find the Data Link Connector for the tranny? I found the two round yellow plugs on my 86 by the air box but those look nothing like the connector that the tranny documentation refers to.

Thanks
