I've done a search and have been unable to find the info I need > so here goes:

Car: 1997 C230 // body W202 // engine - M111

I crank up to drive to work the other morning - and I get about half a mile - the car has a sudden change - runs like POS - no power, CEL comes on > I turn around and take another car to work.

I borrow a neighbors OBD-II tester> "gonna pull some codes".... I look under the driver instrument cluster .. no OBD-II port.. I look under pax side... no OBD-II port. >> I don't have a 16 pin OBD-II port/?

I do have the 38 pin plug in the engine compartment.

Am I missing something? I ahve the Haynes manual for the C230 > does not even mention OBD-II

I thought it was mandatory that at model year 1997 that cars sold in USA had the OBD-II port???

One of the pieces on this site said maybe in the drivers footwell... ??

any clues?

I look for a adapter for the Benz 38 pin connector to a 16 pin OBD-II connectoron ebay .... no joy

sugestions??
