New to me 1995 stock, after having a 2002,
Hey guys, just got what seems to be a good sample of a 1995 Accord. I lost my 2002 in a total loss crash.
This new to me Accord has a few intermittent problems, probably related to EGR, CKP, and or Distributor. (seems to go limp mode once a day if it's cold).
Earlier today I read ony an EGR code 12, but read for hours about other possible causes of the limp mode. So I'll be asking about that elsewhere in the forum.
I'll also be asking about what's the best OBD scanner to get for this, since it's not an OBD II, is it really worth it? Will an ELM for pc or android get good data other than trouble codes...
For now, glad to join here. I also have a 750cc Honda RC36 race-touring bike that I service myself.

Well, 1995 was a strange year for Accords. The V6 Accord was OBD-2 a year ahead of the govt. deadline. The 1995 4-cyl Accord was OBD-1. I can't tell from the picture & you don't say which it is.
For OBD-1 you don't need a scanner of any kind, because all you can do is short the SCS connector with a paperclip & watch the flashing CEL. No scanners, no ELM, etc...

So, no other data avail. from the 2+3 pin socket?
I am planning on connecting it to a scanner, I found the pinout config of the 3-pin socket, #1 is the K-Line (ISO9141-2 protocol)
Unless I'm reading it wrong, the current OBD standard can establish comm. with this protocol. It's only a matter of hooking the correct pin-out from Honda.
I'll try to get a standard 16 pin OBDII socket and wire it up so Honda's 3 pin can talk to the scanner. (Yeah I know they sell these 3-16 adaptors on ebay, but they also sell "service" at the dealer, lol).
Thanks again.
