Title says it all. Computer at the shop could not talk to the obd2. My code reader could also not talk to the obd 2.

Sounds like your OBD port is dead, meaning its not getting power for some reason.
This has happened before but they never posted back with the cure.
Start by checking ALL fuses.

I believe you can check the voltage at pin 16.

I just got off the phone with him, I think its strange that the OBDII isn't reading and his IACV isn't working [possibly due to the ECU.]

I think he should pull out his ecu and check for corrosion and water.

Im kinda just talking for him, I think hes busy working on his ecu. I know it seems like I dont have a life lol. Im being forced to watch the saints game, or at least sit here and pretend to watch.

Anyways, he took apart his ECU and it did have mud and dirt in it. He is cleaning it up I believe and I offered one of my spares to him.

I'm confussed I've heard people talk about the ecu being under the hood but mine is in the passenger under dash. did they move them, I know mine being a 94 there are a few differences than the obd2 models.
