I agree with Intrigued on this one, there should definitely be some sort of petition from those of us "in the know" to those of us "in the dark" about this kind of thing, as it's quite obvious that OBD-IIa/b are diagnostic in nature, meant to diagnose problems with a GASOLINE engine, due to the use of a computer based engine controller, used to finely tune the fuel/air mixtures to a desirable level, in order to cut down on COMBUSTION (key word) emissions.

Some of those words should probably make it into that document.
