I know this probaly sounds stupid but i have looked and looked and couldnt find anything..Im wanting a cable that i can hook up to (my laptop to car) just to check like missfiring and to be able to read my own codes. I have a 95 eagle talon ESI.. thanks in advance for the info.

What you're looking for is a Datalogger cable. There are quite a few, raging from expensive (Pocketlogger, requiring a Palm PDA with a serial link cable), to inexpensive (Do a search on eBay for 'DSM Datalogger cable'... most will let you pick between PDA or laptop-style serial plugs, and some will send you a CD with free datalogging software like MMCD or Tunerstein).

Just be careful. I went for an eBay special, and had to complain to PayPal, as the guy never sent the cable.

(edit) The above applies to 1Gs, you'll need to specifically look for 2G DSM or ODBII datalogging cables for a 95 or later.

Don't forget that you're nonturbo. That will make a world of difference when looking.

It shouldn't - ODBII is ODBII, regardless of engine type... The SOFTWARE may be different, but the cable will be the same.
