I have OBDII?!

I checked my fuse box and see that I have 3 cooling fan relays and apparentely this indicates OBDII. Is this true? I always thought 95s were OBDI. I don't want OBDII

No 95's have OBDI but use the OBDII connector.

I'm no expert on the matter, but I would check to see how many 02 sensors you have. If you have 4, it's OBDII, if only 2, it's OBDI.
I don't know about the fan relay thing. My harness is back at school, and I think it may have had a few relays/fuses for the fans and it's OBDI.

You don't have an OBDII. The only OBDII's that came from the factory were on the automatic california emissioned lt1's, and on the optional 3.8L V6, that started in 95.

Fan relays have nothing to do with OBD type. Look on the sticker on the radiator cover. It will tell you what OBD type it is.

California emissioned automatic LT1's (that's me!) got dual cats, NOT OBDII...just the OBD-II connector, but an OBD-I PCM. We're special...

If it is a '95, it could be either, so you will have to check, if you don't already know. To check, just pop open the fuse/relay box on the driver's side of the engine bay. If there are two Cooling Fan relays, your car is OBDI. If there are three Cooling Fan relays, your car is OBDII.....
What is that all about, what do I need OBDI or II? Does he have no idea what hes talking about?

LIke shoebox said: check the underhood sticker. If your '95 is OBDII, it'll be the first one discovered on this board.

Above is not correct..
for starters, the fan change from 2 to 3 relay fans was made in mid 94 [referred to as 'early production(2 relays) or 'late production(3 relays) in 94 factory manual..]
95's are OBDI and have OBDII ALDL..
