Hello everyone!!

I am new to the whole DSM thing, I have no idea what all the lingo is but I am sure I will figure that out in time. I do have some small questions about this car I just got.

It is a 1995 GSX and it is running LEAN! I have an air/fuel ratio gauge that came with it. It has a manual boost controller, I think the boost is to high it sits somewhere close to 15 PSI. I know it needs a tune as well. Just wanna know if I turn the boost down if it will help the Lean issue at all.

These cars are OBD 1 but they throw Check Engine Codes?? The light on the dash is on, I thought that was strange.

The car has to be push started everytime, but the starter is good, I could not find a Starter Relay/Fuse or anything. I am just wondering if there is one at all.

I would also like to know the easiest and cheapest way to tune these cars, just to get them running correctly.

I really love this car so far and I am excited to learn. I just want to fix these small issues to get it running well.

Thanks guys!
 
First things first fill out your mods list in your profile, so we know what your workin with. Our cars (95) arnt obd1 they are like obd1.5 so a obd2 scanner will read the codes no problem. Also need more info on your lean condition like what numbers are you seeing. Do you have a wide or narrow band sensor and what turbo. Welcome bro this is probably the best site to learn and grow as a dsmer. We are all here to help just ask.
