Re: obd connector not working
Reading your other posts you have an OBD1 P30 ECU correct? If so it won't connect to the scanner so you'll have to do the paper clip method. Look in Ronj's signature above or the FAQ sticky.
Re: obd connector not working
You will need to short out the jumper plug with a paper clip or equivalent in the passenger side kick panel. You then watch/count the flashes of the check engine light on your cluster.
There is a thread stickied that describes the procedure.
EDIT: Sorry it isn't stickied. But it is in the FAQ thread.

Re: obd connector not working
obd1 was before there was any kind of standard required so every manufacturer had their own plug type, software etc etc.
Obd2 was when a standard was created and even then the scanners had to ID which of the 4 major manufacturers it is hooked up to so it knows which of the 4 software types it needs to talk to it.
For OBD1 Hondas you need an 800 dollar piece of hardware (Honda Interface Module [HIM]) then need the 800 dollar per year subscription to the Honda interface software to "Scan" the ECU, granted I believe you can change the programming of the ECU too but it's really not worth the dollars when you can spend just as much on Hondata S300 and get it fully tuned and then hook up a laptop anytime.
