It is OBDII that became a requirement, in 1996. Before that there was OBDI which is on this car. And actually quite a few cars adopted OBDII early in 1994 and 1995. This car was right on the break between a 16 pin connector and a 38 pin connector both of which would be located in the rear passenger side of the engine compartment. If it's a 38 pin it would be covered by a round black plastic cap. In either case you can read codes with Arthur Dalton's code reader - you will find plenty with a search.
