    Default Decoding tool?

    Hey does anyone know all the decoding rules and options? I am a programmer and I can build us a tool that you can just input the vin and it will automatically decode it and give us a break down display, but I would have to get all the variables possible broken down for me... if its a good idea just start popping in information on all the possibilities here and I will begin inputting that information.

    Also can someone help me decode my vin? I got most of it decoded but there are some parts that I am not sure about.

    1FABP15ABF241263 its for an 81 2.3L if you havent guessed it yet.

    Thanks!

    You seem to be a digit short.

    Where's your check digit?

    Your vin should be 17 characters.
