Obd2 autozone scanner I also used one of the really expensive ones when the issue first started and it worked but he recently it's been just pulling up air

1995 GT is obd1. Only the V6 cars were obd2.

the test plug for obd1/eec4 is under the hood.

Had this same argument with my Tire tech. He still stands by both being ODBI even though the V6 is clearly ODBII under the dash to the right, behind the center console.
