The OBD connector

Post by wilkinsr » Fri Mar 25, 2022 9:59 am

I have a 1997 v16 Probe and the idle speed hunts until the engine fully warms up. I could do with using the OBD capability, but can't find the connector to scan it. Anyone knows where it is.
Thanks in anticipation, Roger

Hi Roger,
You will be a long time looking, because apart from about one, I don't know of any others in the UK. Everyone else just uses a 12v LED and a wire strap.
Now for a mere 10 of your finest British pounds, you could become a full member for a whole year, which gives you access to how to read such codes and what they mean :D
Or you can look on the internet :o
