I belive just the obd1 plug, in the kickpanel fusebox...iirc

[SirSilvia]

so the s13 dont have them right

Not right there and it is still unclear to me if early s13's (89-90) had them at all. I'm going to email the guy again for more detailed info.

If the s13 does have one I found is on the driver side in the fuse box area. and if you see the pic of the FSM I posted above is says it is.

aight, I finally got everything i need and hooked up and software loaded. but it's not detecting the car when i try to scan for the connection.is this the obd1/consult cable?its located right next to the fuse box by my left foot

yea man mine told me that it couldnt detect the ecu and i email the guy and he told me that it might because that i might have a bad ecu or the ecu fuse is blown but everything works fine and i still dont have a clue about what it could be

mine works fine obdII cleared my codes and they came back in 50 miles now to fix them.

NICE! glad to hear the thing does work.

so i finally i had the chance to test out the emance consult cable for obd1. the plug was right in the kickpanel on the driver side by the fuse box where he said it would be, but everytime i scanned for ecu it kept saying it could not detect my ecu. i seem to be the 2nd person this has happened to on this thread, sloweighty bein the first. i wonder if jason is just bs'in us... maybe it only works on some, and he just doesnt realize, idk. i'm gonna email him, see what he says

I'm having the same prob with my 93 de, but with another eBay cable (not a serial one)....hope the cable isn't related ... when i start up the software (TECU or conzult...) it says it cannot detect the ecu... any one found a solution to this prob?? bad ecu / wires, bad cable, user error... I'm connecting it to the gray ob1 connector in kick panel ftr. (looks nothing like the black one above)

mine's an '89 and I was informed that '89-'90's don't have the hookup for it. I was getting the same error's BTW. I'm keeping the cables however for when I ever get around to my swap.

My ecu doesnt have a diagnostic screw on the ecu and this sounds like a great option. But are you saying the cables DONT work for obd1 cars or just 89-90. Mine is a 90 and that may be a prob. Also is this the site http://www.ecutalk.com/interface.aspx you guys are referring to?

[SirSilvia]

I believe it was the fact that 89-90 OBD1's would not work, but the later ones will. an that actually looks like a better setup than the original. I might get one for my newer couple I'm getting. Maybe I can find another newer ECU to swap out the one in my '89.
