    I Found the paper clip works, same results. you can find one thats just for commodores and gives you software, so you can check engine codes, injector timing, temp, idle and lots of other things, but they are bout $120.

    Thats because the VT/VX/VYs used a OBDII socket but used the OBDI protocol.

    Yes. You should be able to find one to suit. It's not like the VT commodore is a rare car.

    Could try something like this if you have a laptop?
