hi all! long time lurker, first time poster. Honda is been my whole life and I made the mistake of going into the dark side. Never really got hooked on it so Im going back to Honda, **** germans and there cars =D. anyways quick question, Im going shooting for an OBDI car since in IL anything OBDI dont have to go through emmission so that leaves me alot to play with since I dont need to smog it. I been looking at a '95 accord that Ima go check out tonight, just wondering if theres any model '95 accord that would be OBDII? cuz i know for some cars if there made like 1995.5 then there OBDII. any easy ways to check if its OBDI? thanks for all your help.

 

An OBD1 car will have but one O2 sensor
The OBD2 varient will have two; primary mounted on the exhaust header (under the shield) and the second behind the cat.

I believe 1996 was the first year of OBD2 in the US market.

I'm probably very lucky as my car is OBD1 out of the factory and it's a 1996.

Visual check:

Check injector clips (groove on the centre)
Check your dizzy wiring
Check for CEL jumper cable/plug under your dash
Check if you only have ONE O2 sensor BEFORE the cat

Thourough check:

Flip the carpet and yank out the ecu see the connection and the ecu code.

 

Both JDM (Japanese Domestic Market), EDM (European Domestic Market) and possibly ADM (Austaralian Domestic Market) did NOT convert to OBD2 at the same time as the 'states did.

Good info there mate. I was gonna go check the car out today but got rained out like mad so Im gonna go see it tomorrow. Just for **** and giggles this will be the one ill be going to look at.
