*speedyfix,
circa 1992 DSM ECU's were already OBD-I. so at the very least i am guessing na OBD-I yung 97 na accord, most likely OBD-II na nga yan..

at the very least the casa would have the device to connect to the ECU (the Special Purpose Tool)

ang alam ko si Zee (in Aurora ha.. not Cruven) has a universal OBD reader. might be cheaper to have them check than the casa. alam ko 1000 ang OBD reading sa casa eh. i could be wrong though.
