You have to jumper the green connector IIRC...but there are 3 wires going into it. I am not sure which of the lines it is.

If I can dig up my manual I'll try to find out for you.

Ground the STI connector RH rear corner of engine compartment. Mine is green. The wire will be yellow.

i used to go to advance auto parts and have them plug their scanner into the car... then someone broke it. Now they only have odb2 scanners.

We have MECS (Mazda Engine Control System). The OBD1 scanner might be able tell you basic info but from what I understand its not fully OBD1 compatable.

Spanky, where in PA are you?
