If its like the 93 which I am sure it is, it should be on the drivers side near the firewall, looks like a house kinda.

it should be under the hood right by the firewall on the drivers side
there are 2 plugs.. a little one with 1 inlet and a big one with 3

Dont they have one that you can plug in and it will flash, similar to the check engine light when you run the koeo test? I thought they did but I might be wrong

obdI is what is on all the 5.0 stangs. obdII was mandated in 96. obdI you can pull codes but only pull codes. obdII you canpull codes read fuel trims its a lot better. obdI was basically just a check engine light crap
