OBD systems have changed through the years as well, the general rule of thumb is pre-91 engines use OBD0, 92-95 engines use OBD1, 96-99 engines use OBD2, & 99-04 Civic Si & Integra models are OBD2. If you're not sure which system your car is equipped with it's fairly easy to differentiate.. OBD1 systems have only one O2 sensor- either on the header or the catalytic converter while OBD2 systems have two.
