    Default Quick OBDII question

    I'm trying to find a harness for my VAFC, but the website that I'm about to buy it from has an option of either OBDIIA or OBDIIB. Can someone please explain the difference to me and if my 2001 Honda Prelude is A or B?

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Thanks! I'm not sure if I'm going to have it for a long time. Plus I get kind of weird about hard wiring things in my car. A simple PNP is good enough for me. Also coud you tell me what the difference is?

    Thanks,

    Actually 96-01 Prelude is OBD2A, not OBD2B. I have a '99 Prelude and using OBD2A-OBD1 conversion harness. I share the same one with '97 Civic.
