As far as I know, and OBDII system must be scanned with an appropriate OBDII scanner. The Snap-On we used was universal, but different interchangeable circuit tabs were used for each vehicle make. You can buy make-specific scanners for under a hundred ive seen, but they will simply provide a P-code... you still have to cross reference it.

Any OBD 2 scanner on the market will work for generic PO... codes which 99.9% of the time it is. The port is most likely near the drivers left knee.

The port is behind the little door that says "DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR" which is located near the driver's right knee to the right of the steering wheel.

Oh well. I'll start searching for a scanner. Thanks for the information. If anyone else has any, let me know.
I'll let you know what I find.

Hey, you're pretty close to me. I have my best friends dad in Plymouth that has a scanner. Just a thought and he prolly wouldn't charge anything just to scan it. If anything you could give him like 5 bucks and he'd be cool with that.

I think that people have used the Bosch ones before. Also there are very inexpensive ones on ebay that you just have to splice into the old connector. A little work but can save you some extra cash. Just wait for others on any other brands recommended or try doing a search as its been covered many times before.

-At least over by you Appleton is just a short drive away with a real mall and your selection of places to go eat is a lot larger than here.

If you want to save $30 and get the ACDelco, go to http://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclef...l=en&html=true. Ive had good experiences with rockauto. And be sure to spray your 02 sensor generously with penetrating oil the night before (on a cool exhaust lol), it will help immensely with removing it.

for the 02 sensor you just unplug the electrical connector and slide the appropiate box end wrench over the wire and onto the 02 sensor and unscrew the rascal.

Am I missing something here??

you have covered every way of trying to get the connector undone... Besides just yanking it out... Not sure what to tell you
