Is there an OBD II plug in a 1992 LS-L ?
If so where is it located?

SVXs (along with every other Subaru model) were not OBD-II compliant until the 1994 model year. 1992 and 1993 SVXs have self-check methods for reading stored codes detailed in the how-to locker.

SVXs were not OBD-II until 1996.

Really? Hmm, I guess that makes sense for the SVX. But weren't other Subaru vehicles OBD-II in '94?

All cars had to be OBD-II by '96, but some were compliant as early as '94.

ODBII is a federal requirment as of 96. So all the cars including Subarus have them if they are 96+ models.

There were some GM cars that I know of that were ODBII complient by 94. I used to have a Camaro that had ODBII.

Uh? I had a 94.5 L and I currently own a 94LSi. None of them have ODBII. Did I get screwed?

You're reading my post wrong. I'm saying that Subaru did not make any model in 1994 that had OBDII.

Our '94 SVX LSi does not have OBD II.

I have a question. If OBD II was required on all USA 1996 cars , was there an OBD I? If yes, what was it like?

Personally I'm partial to Roman Numeral III.
So I will vote for Nader. Than I will lobby him, when he is president, to get OBD III installed on USA cars.

yes, there was an OBDI, and you are driving in it u tell me. The ECU used in the svx before 96 was the OBD I, and personally i like it a lot better, due to the fact that tou do not need a 3000 dollar scanner to find out, you need an 02 sensor. The OBD I Ecu's in most cars had a self diagnostics check like our's w/ the black connector and blue wires, as oposed to OBDII which you need to have checked by a profensional w/ the scanner. In my book, it's not cool to pay mechanics, they just screw more stuff up.
