i just bought my hatch and i was told the engine was a 98. the ecu is labeled 94-95 GSR. is that obd2. im confused. i thought a 98 was obd2 and 94-95 was obd1. someone clear this up.

 

then you got a obd2 motor i believe 94-96 is obd1 97-up is obd2
i need a obd1 ecu you wanna sell?

 

the ecu is in the car and the engine runs fine. im just confused to why i was told it was a 98 when ecu says 94-95. its probably just an obd1 engine. thats what i think. oh well. anyone else. how can i tell what year the engine is

 

how much you get the ecu for?

engine could be OBDII but for ease of wiring/plugs they used OBDI ecu. anyways more benefits to having OBDI ecu anyways.

some quick notes:
96-8 OBDIIa
99-01 OBDIIb
92-5 OBDI
-OBDI ECU works with OBDII electronics without any problems.

 

ok man thank you. i was like WTF. now it makes sense.

BTW what are the benefits of a obd1 ecu

 

 

chech your distributer. If i has just one big harness thats clip into each other with 10 wires its an OBD-II. Chech the ecu again is there a jumper attached to the interior harness. You can also tell my the wire harness on the motor. There is 4 different clips on the battery side of the engine bay where the engine harness mets the shock tower (intermediate harness) that makes the connection with the ecu

 

thanks man im sure its an obd2 engine with an obd1 ecu now
