An OBD2 scanner can sometimes read an odd OBD1 code but there is no consistency. The OBD2 system is designed to be universal but only as far as faults that can affect exhaust emissions - other faults on the OBD2 system and the OBD1 system are manufacturer/model specific and require either dedicated diagnostic equipment or some very comprehensive software.

The DTC (Data Trouble Code) P0305 is the generic OBD-II DTC for "Cylinder 5 Mis-fire Detected", and it means that the OBD-II control unit has detected a problem with the #5 cylinder.
The problem could be a faulty spark plug, or a spark plug wire for the #5 cylinder, or the coil for that cylinder could be faulty (2.7 liter), or the distributor or distributor cap could be faulty (3.0 liter), or the fuel injector for the #5 cylinder could be faulty.
Before you look for any electrical problems causing the mis-fire on the #5 cylinder, first do a compression check to be certain that the mis-fire is not caused by a mechanical problem.
Here are the firing order diagrams for the 2.7 and the 3.0 liter enginesto help assist you.

Really that is all you need unless you want to spend $200 on a better scanner. Post that code on line and you will get the problem and fix suggestions. Or purchase a repair manual (Haynes) which has the codes and sensors listed but leaves the repair solutions to you. Remember that a code can be caused by more than just a bad sensor so be careful.
