Greetings to all:

I recently purchased an '85 Chevrolet Z/28, with the Tuned
Port Injected 305 V8.  This motor is the same as used in the
IROC Z/28, and the H.O Pontiac Trans Am.  My question is
this:   Does anyone know anything about the electronic
engine controls on this engine?  There's the ubiquitous
'CHECK ENGINE' idiot light - a definite indication that GM's
"Computer Command Control" is keeping a watch on the engine.
I know that Chrysler's Electronic Engine Controls on the
2.2L FI/TURBO engines have a way of 'dumping' the 'fault codes'
stored in the computer, (Previous car was a Dodge Daytona
Turbo, and I used the feature all the time to aid in
diagnosing problems) and am wondering if such is possible
on GM's system?  Anyone got any information on this?
I'll summarize to the net if response is sufficient to warrant
it.

Many thanks,

Rick Bensene
