I'm a pretty decent shade tree mechanic and I'm willing to pony-up some $$$. What do you use/recommend? OTC, Snap-On, KAL, etc. |
| Make sure you know what your specific vehicle's scanner needs in fact ARE. I bought a decent one to scan my '86 4Runner, only to find out that a wire shunt, or short, was all that is needed for this particular engine(22RE). This scanner also works on many older Japanese engines, some of which I may own someday, so I kept it. But, I definitely spent $$$ I did not have to i/o to accomplish the task at hand. |

Quoted: I just got an Actron CP9135. Waldo, I saw that one while browsing last night. Unfortunately I still need OBD-I capabilities since my friends and I drive older cars. Camp_Ninja, it sounds like you got a code reader. I need something a little more elaborate than a code reader. I need real-time data logging and storage, or print-out. Hanko, that ScanTool looks clever and cost-effective. No OBD-I support, though. |
