    Check engine help

    Okay, Hi I'm a Newb to this forum., as well though not to others. My mother in law has a 94 Protege, and I'm sorry what a piece of crap this car is, and I've told her to sell it multiple times, the rear shock towers are almost completely rotted out, as well the rest of the body. But she did buy it for only 400.00 with great tires, and an interstate battery.

    On a side note I did own 2 88 323's... Great Cars!!! And on to my question.

    Mother in law called me, of course having car troubles. Car wants to stall, and lacks power (sounds like an iacv, or maf needing cleaned). I WAS under the impression it was a 97 OBD2, so when I took my OTC Genisys EVO to her house after closing the shop Saturday, I found that it was a 94 and my 2500.00 tool rendered useless at this point in time, and not having access to NoData, and or Mitchel OD, at home I remember pulling codes from my 323 by: (Correct me if I'm wrong) The tan 3 pinned plug by the firewall/bulkhead/driverside/shocktower. Grounding out the middle plug with a jumper wire, and counting flashes.

    I used the search function of course, and found nothing. So assuming that my 323 was an 88 and this protege is a 94. These plugs may be located somewhere else, and the procedure to pull the codes are different between the two cars. Any help would be great, pictures as well an A+.

    ten to ground in the plug near the wiper motor by the fender, its got a cap over the whole plug, thats the diag terminal. i can plug our snapon scanners in to it with the mazda plug or the universal jumper kit, altho the toyota has the same plug too....
