Ok I got you it's just 1 plug. Why won't it read then? The plug on the car only has 4 pins inside it is that right?

obd1/2 doesnt really make a difference the diagnostics system is the same, just the shape of the plug. and ya, it only has 4 pins. does the led on the diagnostics plug light up? check the fuse for it, on same one as ciggy lighter. ignition needs to be on as well
