Hello guys i have a question in the same subject:
I own a civic coupe 96 D16Y8 engine now my friend told me that there is a possibility that the Electrical system is OBDI and not OBDII as i fought until now !

i attached a picture of my car (http://hondaswap.com/hybrid-eg-ek-dc...53/#post880622).
How can i check which OBD r my car using ??
Its very important cause im going 2 do a b18c or b16b swap so i have to know !
Thanks.

 

your car is obd-2.....all y8 are obd-2.

 

All USDM 96+ Honda Civics were OBD-II.

You can verify this (in an obvious sense) 2 ways, one, there should be a big *** O2 sensor sticking out of your catalytic converter - it's quite obvious. Two, there is an OBD-II scanner access port under your dash, parallel with the gas pedal, on the left hand side (almost all the way to the wall).

I highly doubt somebody converted it to OBD-I.

They could just be running an OBD-IIa to OBD-I conversion harness with an OBD-I ECU, but that's a far cry from an "OBD-I conversion."

For confirmation on that you'll see about 8in extra of wires by the ECU.

 

Well Guys yesterday i lifted my car i saw the first O2 sensor in the header and searched the second near the convertor but there isnt one !

So what does it says ?? my car is OBDI ?
Maby the civic 96-98 in Israel is OBDI ?

Help anyone ?

 

Pull the carpet on the passengers kick panel and look at the ecu, on its side there should be a number that starts with "P"XX . Post that number and well tell you what it is.

 

Hey !
Well I have checked the ECU the number is P2P, so my engine is OBDI or II ?
If its OBDII how can it be i have just 1 O2 sensor ??

 

p2p is obd2a
