UGH!!! A lil help please.

Car has been running Rich for about 2 weeks now. So i wanted to see if there are any codes on the comp.

Gets up under the steering wheel and can't find the plug/adapter for the comp. No where to be found.
Can i get a lil help here, as far as what can i do. Maybe the wire is stuck up in the dash board or something, do i have to loose down my whole dash.
I have an idea of what the plug looks like but i don't have a clear picture, anyone knows what i have to look for?
Or anyone knows why the car might be running rich?
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks
Shawn

plug should be in with the fuse box... off to the right.

If you want to see if you're throwing any ghost codes, use the sticky above... or follow this link: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=104931

Errr, passenger side? are you sure?
Anycase i did the sticky's diagnostic test, and got the ghost code. Need a new knock sensor. No qustions is, would bad sensor make you car run rich? Or what are some of the characteristics that would make your car run rich/lean?

The OBDII hookup for 95's is on the passenger side all others are on the drivers side of the car. CarbonDream's post was right about where it was. But as for it running lean or rich I'm not sure maybe O2 sensor but if you have no codes then IDK. Could be the knock sensor but you should definitly change that no matter what. It will give you back the lost power.
