I get it. That's the computer that has 32 inputs (including one for
battery temp) and 28 outputs! I knew that, but I was being ignorant to the
fact that some cars are 'non-OBDII". I guess that makes them OBDI (first
release) or no OBD at all, like in the older trucks.
So what year did they go from OBD to OBDII?
I have to remember, there are a lot more than just the '97's out there.
Thanks.

Probably something good for the FAQ. How's it coming along, BTW?
OBD stands for "On Board Diagnostics" which basically means sensors on
everything watching for oxygen levels in the exhaust, etc. etc. I don't
know everything that is monitored, but I think its quite a bit.
OBDII is just the second "version" of OBD.
Theres a bit of OBD information, history, etc. in an article on the
DML Home Page about the effects of modifications on OBD-II vehicles. The
