95 Merlot obd1 or 2
I'm going to look at a 95 either tonight or tomorrow, but was wondering about the switch over to obd2 somewhere in 95. Obd scan port should be to the right of the wheel under the dash correct? Anything else on the car to verify whether it is obd1 or 2? Labels, vin, etc..
I'm trying to start out on the right path with an obd1 car due to the emissions in my state.
Turbo complicates this.
Thanks!

I've read that the switch over happened during the 95 MY. Check for an OBD2 plug, under the steering wheel area. Also check for ECU location, I think all OBD1 cars had them in the passenger footwell, and OBD2 behind the passenger seat, but I don't remember if that's just the difference between 1.6 and 1.8 ECU location.
Also, check hood sticker

I have 95' OBD1 and my ECU is behind pass seat. I believe all 95s are behind pass seat.

BTW looked at the car last night and it indeed is OBD1.
Going to pick up the car in a few hours!
Might upload a pic later..
