Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test This link shows the STO and STI connectors, you need to plug both into your code reader.

if its speed density the plug is on the drivers side fender under the hood behind the fusebox. if its MAF than the plug is inside the cab under the kick panel on the driver side, also near the fuse panel.

nope. If the truck is a 95,should be in the same place doesn't matter if it is SD or MAF my 95 is MAF and it is on the driver's side inner fender where the fender meets the cowl by the cruise control. 96 started OBD2 for the f150,that diagnostic port should be inside the truck.
