I want in on the OBDII reader group buy, but thought I'd be wise to check that my 'tour is REALLY OBDII. Have any of you used Alex Peper's OBDII tool on a '95 V6? Works?? thanks, Brent 95 SE MTX (only 104K km!)

I'm picking the car up from the shop this pm (autobody work), so I'll be able to check for sure. (could be any different for cars destined for Canada??) I'm 100% sure that it was being toted as OBDII compliant back in 95. Of course maybe that was some pre-production hype that got left behind to actually get the cars rolling off the line. We'll see.

You can also use a simple volt meter to pull codes. There is a "HOW TO" for the OBDI somewhere here on this site.

It's more difficult to troubleshoot, but much less likely to trigger the dreaded CEL/MIL when "playing" with mods. Some Ford products, but not the 'Tours, were OBD2 in 95. Redcoat Raceworks. Performance parts and custom fabricating for Contours, Mystiques and Cougars. Specializing in chassis and suspension parts. Custom end links, control arms, strut tower bars, engine torque braces, etc.

"Jedi Master" (nyuk nyuk) Thanks for the links, I've already managed to read the codes using my handy dandy circuit tester (light) and aligator clip. Gotta love free code reading. I'll do a search on the code and see what I can dig up... I'll probably end up posting again 'bout Oxygen sensors... Thanks, Brent 95 SE MTX (only 104K km!)
