OBD2 is a U.S. standard that has started to spread throughout the world but I'm not sure you have this. If you car as the 38 pin round connector, that's not OBD2, so you need Carsoft (----- CARSOFT International --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------), if your car has the 16 pin connector then it's OBD2.

16 PIN


38 PIN

Buellwinkle,Thank you very much for useful info..! I will find out which is car's connector type.

Well, today is the good day.! I have drive the car along the road at 50-60 Km/H. Suddenly a small truck run across my head on from the intersection. I think he must be blind. I automatic fully press brake pedal, the ABS is function good quick and I able to steer the car away from hitting the truck tail. Wow...what the hell...! but good luck not hit anything and no one hit my tail.
Have a nice day, careful driving..!

Just have fill a petrol treatment additive. it help clean the fuel system as they speak on the can side. After one full tank fill with a can of additive, found that the engine run more smoother. I think it's quite good for the old car that may have some deposit on the injectors...I suggest to try. Good luck..!

Just look under the steering wheel....Yes, Buellwinkle my car is OBD2.

I will order the OBD2 Scanner soon.
Now I have run the car with engine check light on for few hundreds Kilometres with out problem. However the fuel consumption is slightly better than the time before the engine check light on. May be the ECU use default program MAP ( open loop ) that ignore some sensor signal, I think.

How do you find time to do all these? I wish I could do the same. By the way I came from Thailand long time ago, bought 04 C230K for my daughter. Very happy with the car, excellent MPG (24 city, 31 hwy) do schedule A maintenance, brake and few small thing myself. If I were you at that many km I will start just like major schedule maintenance so you know all regular/routine things are good and look for other that may rob your gas/performance. Good luck

Have connect a scanner to the car' OBDII port. Got the code P0101 Mass Air Flow range/performance problem. I will try cleaning the MAF again. If no improvement may be a new MAF should solve the problem of running too rich.
