for a cel check..and there plud wouldnt work i thought my car is odbII it has two cat's and its a 96

 

 

the plug i found in my car was rectangular the one he had what more trapazoid..

 

would autozone work?

If their reader didn't fit, you have OBDI, simple as that.

 

You'll have to use the blinking CEL method.

96 Imprezas are OBD I, which is why I get the old style emissions check instead of getting my car hooked up to their computer through an OBD II port. That is a good thing since I'm not running the stock engine, an OBD II check would tell them that.

I thought all US cars were required to be OBD-II compliant starting with the '96 model year. Some manufacturers started early, Subaru in '95--at least with the Legacy.

i thought so too...but im wrong...whats the blinking cel method

Some companies were able to fudge through loopholes but had to switch over asap, Subaru was one. funny thing is I think the Legacys were OBD-II in 95 or so, weren't they?

sean,

 

Legacy777, Josh, has posted directions on here, not sure where, as I've never needed them and have also slept since then...

there are two sets of connectors up inside the dash one set green and the other black if i remember correctly. you need to connect them and it will flash the codes through the cel. get a manual before doing this, they tell you where the connectors are located and which ones to plug in. advance will have the manual, its a haynes titled computer trouble codes.
