I'm taking my moms 95 mystique into autoshop at school tomorrow to find out why this check engine light keeps coming on.(Usually in 5th around 2k or 3k rpms) Anyway, where is the connector located, just so I can get this done quicker. I heard somewhere it wasn't under the dash, but under the hood. Is that true or am I mixing up cars?

Thanks.

You can do it yourself: no need for a shop! Call up and cancel now. You just need a paper clip! I've been meaning to write a how-to, and I'll do it right now for ya. Hold on one moment...

This is a very simple process. Remember: this is for Model Year 1995 ONLY!

1. Open the hood.
2. Look back by the driver's side strut tower. There will be a wiring cluster terminating in a box about five inches by two inches.

This is the connector

3. Pull the cover off the box. There is one test wire by itself, and then the block of six together, as shown.

4. As shown in the picture, with the short row (narrow end) at the top, put a paper clip into the top-right hole. Clarifying:
......[1].[2]....
..[3][4][5][6]..
that would be pin 2.

5. Put the other end of the paper clip into the single wire's plug.

6. Get in the car and check that the A/C is off, the parking brake is on (just to be careful) and the shifter is in P (auto) or neutral (manual). Then turn the key to the "on" position. Don't start the car, just turn it on. You'll hear fans come on, and relays click, then:

7. Read the output. The CEL will flash the codes to you.
http://www.thorssell.net/hbook/eectest.html has a description of how they come out. Basically, it's like this: Hard faults, 4 seconds, hard faults repeated, 6 seconds, seperator pulse, 6 seconds, memory faults, 4 seconds, memory faults repeated. Just read the flashes. Again, the link above goes into much greater detail, but is also more general, since this is a standard EEC-IV procedure.

8. http://www.thorssell.net/hbook/3digit.html has the codes for you to look up. Post the code if you're not sure what it means. Good luck!

Yup, under the hood as above.

wow, I really skimmed your post.I just saw "auto shop" and thought "garage". My bad. Still, now you'll have a better idea what they're doing!

Well I got 176 and 177...so needs a new O2 sensor I assume.

Also 573 isn't on there but that came up. Anyone know what that means?

Doesn't mean the sensor is bad. It's detecting a lean condition. Most likely carbon built up in the intake manifold/egr system. I would clean those out first before spending $ on O2's. That last code doesn't exist. You must have misread it.

111 Systems pass.
112 Air charge temperature (ACT) sensor indicated 254degF. Circuit grounded.
113 ACT indicated -40degF. Circuit open.
114 ACT out of self-test range.
115 Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor out of self-test range.
117 ECT indicated 254degF. Circuit grounded.
