I really wish I could tell but it was done by the dealer before I bought the car I am still doing research on what they did to it.

That would not have been for anything performance related. I'm sure it was a service bulletin for a software update.

The box it self is way smaller then a factory pcm tho I have been trying to find out for a long time now

It's smaller because it's a 95 ecu which is only obd1 compliant.

It also has 20 pins less which attributes to why it's smaller.

Okay I understand the 20 pins less but I have two plugs under my dash. I'll take a photo in the morning. If I hook up an obd2 scanner and run it as a 1996 gs It tells me my codes. I have always been confused about this. But what is the best plug and play way to go?

 

[dsmcrzy]

Plug and play for the 420a as far as a tuneable ecu goes doesn't exist. You would have to go with a megasquirt or AEM FIC and wire it up if you wanted to tune.

From what I have seen and read (I've never owned a 95) the ECUs weren't fully OBD2 compliant yet meaning they still met all the OBD1 requirements but not all the OBD2. Auto manufacturers had to be fully OBD2 compliant by 1996. So 95 are almost like a stepping stone you can read them with an OBD2 code reader but they don't have all the things a 96+ would have for codes. That's what I have been able to piece together.

I wouldn't trust any dealership working on my car. I've worked for Honda (unfortunately) and seen some shady S#%t. I'd rather do my own quality work.

I would agree. It was some before I bought the car.
