GM trucks use J1850 VPW and should have contacts in 2,4,5 and 16 and the only difference with your Ford should be pin 10 which GM shouldn't have.
 
With a truck that abused it doesn't suprise me that the OBD-II won't function.

obyone,
 
You're right about the J1850 VPW connector. Here's the layout:
16=orange
14=green
5=black w/ white stripe
4=black
2=purple
 
Do you have any idea how to fix the OBD-II so I can read the computer?
 
Thanks,
Mike

Other than replacing the whole module I can't think of anyway to fix it. That would only eliminate the connection itself.
 
Have you tried testing the individual connectors for power with a voltmeter?
 
I understand you're doing this as a favor. That price of this favor is really high and I would consider it a favor if the guy took his truck somewhere else. Electrical problems are a pain cause they sometimes take way too long to troubleshoot. Course this may not help your situation.
 
Oh one last thing. Have you checked the fuses. If I'm not mistaken the OBDII is on a fused connection.

I found out why the OBD-II port was not working. The cigarette lighter fuse also powers terminal #16 in the OBD-II port. I replaced the fuse and was able to scan the truck. But, no codes came up. Scanner says: "3 Readiness Monitors" Misfire, Fuel System, Comp Components. I have no idea what those are.
 
Thanks for you help so far.

I have serched but didn't find the same problem i'm having so this is it.
I have a 1997 gmc that will not start, I have 60psi fuel for the first two seconds or 50+ while trying to start. It will start and run if you put gas, starting fluid etc.. down the intake. but will not start back unless you do the same. It has not set a "check enging light" so I don't think it would have a code bit set.
This is not the first time I have ran up on this problem, I had a similar problem with a 99 Tahoe. It would start then stall, most of the time while the air was damp. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

This could be a defective check valve in the fuel line which allows the gas to drain back to the gas tank.

Thanks Obyone
 I'll do some more checking. I failed to mention that I removed the return line from the intake and installed a rubber hose in its place, cranked the engine over the press was 50+ psi but no gas out of the return line. That seems strange to me, I would have thought the pump would supply the gas then the regulator would let only what was needed go to the injectors and return the rest to the tank.
Thanks
Lynn
