OBD port location 1990 Fleetwood Southwind P30 454

I have a check engine light that comes on after about 5-10 miles at highway speeds and stays on until the engine is shut off and restarted. This has been happening scince I bought the MH about 5 years ago. I have never noticed any performance issues related to this. The engine did begin to miss under load last year and I have replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs/wires and cap/rotor which seem to have solved the miss. The engine is running very well and I have no complaints but I would like to figure out this check engine light. I have tried to locate the OBD port but have had no luck. I checked under the dash...it must be there but I can't find it. Can anyone tell me where it is located on a 1990 Fleetwood Southwind? Thank you

    Since it seems to have little effect, I would bet it is the intake air control. The stepper motor gets tired and doesn't move like expected, it will set a code. Check these guys out for cables and software:

    I'm running TunnerPro, which is a great piece of software, but has a steep learning curve.

    Left side of steering column adjacent to the ECM
    Remember it is an OBD 1.

    You may have a OBD I on your coach. If so, It would under the dash to the left of the steering wheel, That's where mine is located. Hope this helps.

    OBD ports started appearing around 1996. Your 1990 might have one but I doubt it. :C
