Dyno Questions and ideas

[BigDAT]

First off, what type of connection do i need to read all the info from the car? and where do i connect it? I am a computer programmer, and im almost positive i could decode the info sent to the computer, if i could hook it up. Any info or experiences with the subject would be great

ok, so it seems that my car should have a OBD-I (remember its a 1994, and OBD-II wasnt introduced till late 1995)

i found a diagnostics port under the hood, but it does not look like OBD-I, anyone know what it is?

i completly dissassembled the entire interior today excluding the dash, and i found some fun stuff, like the airbag sensor

Tomorrow I am gonna dissassemble the dash and look around in there. Then ill re-assemble it.

Off-topic: anyone in California know the law for driving with your hood off?

As far as I know, we don't have that type of connector in our Corollas (pre-95). The OBD-I connector is in the engine bay, as shown in pic #1 that you posted. You'll most likely just have to jump the appropriate ports as opposed to using a plug.

well, if i was trying to diagnose a problem, i would jump 2 ports and then turn the key on, and the check engine light will flash an error code. But i wanted to read all the data from the car (rev, speed, fuel-air, oil pressure, etc.)
