95 E-150

The check engine light is on, it's a 4.9 with C-6, feels sluggish, but the diagnostic port is nowhere to be found, been told there isn't one, how do I get the codes. It's a friends van, not mine, he had his brother do a plug change, lights been on ever since, I was thinking he may have a plugged cat, but believe he told me he had it removed. I was thinking maybe he had a vacuum line off since it was fine till the plugs were replaced, but I'd still like to check the codes.

Should have one right behind the driver’s headlight.

I look all around, could not find it anywhere, was told some don't have any, Autozone told him the 95 vans didn't have them.

If the van were from California I am not 100% sure but if it is from the other 49 states is would be there.

Its tucked away between the battery and the under side of the driver's side fender under the hood. I know it is there. Doesn't matter if its a CA or 49 stater, its the same location.

And that Autozone say's there isn't one doesn't suprize me. Those guys couldn't find their butt with both hands and a road map.

Smile Clubwagon is right...

Clubwagon is right. It has an OBDI connector under the hood on the drivers side rearward of the battery. It's fairly easy to check the codes but be aware that your check engine light may be burned-out (or disconnected by the previous owner). If so, you may need a simple test light to check the codes.

Light is functioning, it's been on ever since the plug change, I'll give another look for it, for him, so I can be certain where to look, thanks.

A high idle could be caused by any number of issues from a bad IAC motor to a vacuum line being off somewhere.

What's a map valve?

I think what your Autozone man was talking about is an OBD II data port. He may be correct that some '95s have them and others don't. That was about the time that OBD II was implemented.

The OBD I port that your van is equipted with is where Steve said it is, but it doesnt look like an OBD II port. There are two plugs there that have a cap on them which is also a storage hanger for the two plugs. You unplug them from the cap and the plugs will be hanging on the end of the wires they are connected to. The plugs themselves are not firmly connected to the van like an OBD II plug.
