Hi - I am studying Engine Management systems and would like to know where I could find help with programming for the CAN protocol. I would like to be able to write an application via Windows for it - I am very grateful for any clues on this subject.

However, it is seemingly being upgraded now, and the new version is not yet available on the net. Probably, the CiA can help you (there's a link on the above website).
You can also look at the data sheets and application notes about common CAN controllers (like the Philips SJA1000), they also contain some details about how CAN works.
The 'CAN in Automation' page that Richard specified is a good source of information. If you want full technical specifications for a particualar implmentation (such as J1939) you will have to buy them.
There are many CAN to PC interfaces available, many of which come with a comprehensive API.

You will need to buy or make an adaptor which has a 9 way D type on one end and the appropriate connector on the other end.
