I just replaced 2 intake valves and put a mls head gasket on and now the check engine light is on and the car is running like crap and stals out when trying to pull out and it is throwing the check engine light on i have no way of scanning it what can i do it also seems like there is vibration threw the gas pedal.
 
Hate to say it but it sounds like your timing is off. Did you have the head milled for flatness prior to the MLS head gasket?
 
I dont think its an obd2 didnt they start that in 95a and no i didnt have the head milled but it was millled before on the motor i got it off of that wasnt ran. How can i tell if the car is in time or not ### all the marks line up at tdc. And is there any other way to get codes
 
Best way to get the code is the beep method mentioned above. I suggest an analog multimeter. Cheaper and you can instantly see the spikes in voltage because its mechanical, no digital latency. Either that or find an OBD1 code reader on ebay, which are super expensive. The beep method works with anything that can take a little voltage and express it some way (speaker, light, multimeter, small electric motor etc). Guide to beep code getter
 
ok i never used a multimeter before so i put it on dc 10a its digital not needle type and it is sending numbers thru in this pace 1 long 3 short then 2 long and 1 short if that makes sense can anyone help please.
