Some 1995 cars had it, all 1996 cars have it, and according to my EV
manual, some models were equipped with "OBD I".


OBD II is a wonderful thing, and yet an incredible pain in the ass.  I
have to give a presentation to our "sales" branch next week on our
strict evaporative system.  Too bad I have to go to CA to do it!
