engine codes
i was under the impression that the 94 explorer was still OBD-1 compliant so there would be a simple way to pull engine codes through pulses in the check engine light or perhaps the ECU. i don't know ford so i have not had experience with them. i'm in a position were i had to by my brothers 94 ford explorer eddie bauer from him and now the gas guage is broke and from what i've read a bad fuel pressure regulator is my other problem as i'm experiencing terrible flucuations in gas mileage. so now that i've run out of gas for the 3-4th time(which i'm sure my fuel pump has enjoyed) i'm going to replace the FPR and check the sending unit for the gas guage or perhaps the floater connected to the fuel pump. but i thought i would pull engine codes for ****s and giggles. everywere i've read i have to hook up a voltmeter and place it on point X and point Y and wiggle my ears, etc. are there no other mehtods of doing this? please don't flame as i don't care what you have to say negatively about me.

an easier do it youself way is forget the volt meter, locate the test connectors under the hood ( explorers were eec4 through 95) ground the single test connector(self test input) turn key to run and read flash out code of ck eng lamp. BTW the 95 explorer had a false obdII connector but was still eec4.
