Well I got an OBD2 port, of a VW but they should be universal and I can swap the pins around. Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram that will show me how to re-attach it. All I have been able to find is this http://forum.miata.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=71291&d=1222266155 but I am not sure it's correct. The donor car is supposed to be a 2002.
