No port to plug in a reader? I have a feeling that, that is incorrect. If you swapped in a harness from a 5oh, then it should be there somewhere although not in the right spot.

The connector you're looking for, looks like this:

It could be located anywhere on a swap.

You should also not that an OBD1 reader is required for this connector.

There are other methods for pulling these codes but you'll need to find that connector first.

Thanks, I found the connector. Do I need to buy an obd1 reader?or is there another way to pull codes? ( of course I do not have the stock dash or check engine light) and I did change the water temp sensor.
