To find an ALDL cable, just do a google search, there are several vendors out there. Just want to be sure you get the plug that compatible with your configuration (OBDI vs OBDII plug). Most common is the USB type (the one I use) and works great.

FYI, TTS Datamaster is only good for 20 uses, then you must pay. WELL worth the money.

Freescan won't work on the 93's for anything but snapshot data.

93 Service Manual Trouble Code Charts (http://www.fastbird93.com/Diagnostics.htm) Some of these will xfer to later years. General troubleshooting info included also.
