I have recently acquired some obd2 hardware, and though i would try it out today.
I have tried a couple of different programs and a some of them say that i dont have a obd2 and on the rest it cant connect.
(modiag=no obd2 system scanmaster=cant connect to ecu
carcode =no connection)
I have a nov 96 scorpio 2.3 .
It has a obd2 system right?
Have to ask so i am not working in vain. 
It is probably something easy but what
Regards M

What lead are you using? May help someone to help you.
Some 2.3's are troublesome to connect to.
If it connects via a computer make sure it's configured to the correct port.

obd-diag 4000 kable, and the program that follows is modiag, and i have tried car diagnostic 2009( nice program) but both of them cant connect.
I have the right com port ( 3) and have the right baud.
As i said before it is probably something easy but what .
Is there any common problem with the obd port in the 2.3 or something i can physicaly check?

My car’s a 2.3 & I have no problem connecting with a tricom from www.obd-2.com
Several on here have connected to 2.3’s & I have connected to others at the Kent meet, but some 2.3’s just don’t want to know – I was unable to connect to Daven’s 2.3 but whether he ever succeeded with his lead I don’t know.
I am not aware of anyone finding out what the problem is or whether there are a significant number of troublesome 2.3’s.
You problem is likely to be finding someone on here with your setup who can give advise.

Your colours are probably right.
Pin 1 VT = Violet
Pin 2 GY/VT = Grey/Violet
