Re: Diagnostics?
It is very easy to tell the difference. Can you post a picture of the plug for the diagnostic tool you have? I can tell you if you are unsure.

If all you want to do is pull the codes, do it for free with a paperclip.

'96 is OBDII (introduced in '96)
OBDI & OBDII connectors are not the same, if it fits your '87 it won't fit '96+.
At the least the scanner should give a code 12 with the key on and engine off.
