does anyone use an Innova OBD1 code scanner with a 94/95 GT? I can pull codes the normal way, but i purchased the code reader to simplify things....but when its plugged up, it won't even turn on.

Anyone have any insight?

What's not turning on? The code reader? It should power on, even if it's not hooked up to the car. I presume it needs batteries - my Autoxray code reader needs 4 AA batteries.
