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.

this is what i believe they had http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KID2ZC (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KID2ZC)

it should work, as i believe our cars are fitted with the EEC-IV system, which this thing reads

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?
