Cel...again - Scorpion - 03-23-2007 So, title says it, I have a CEL came on this morning. I think it's because it's damp and wet outside...got a lumpy rough run at tickover, but if I hold gas pedal down a tiny bit, it goes away...seems like a misfire caused by wet leads or similar. Anyway, I want an OBDII reader, and I was looking at THIS one from crappytire. Will it do what I want, and enable me to do correct troubleshooting and trouble avoidance? Your input is appreciated. Scorp. Cel...again - vy_MR2 - 03-23-2007 Use the money towards a Xcal2. It is also an OBDII reader. Cel...again - Mason - 03-23-2007 Partsource will scan it for like 10bux. If your getting poor idle and stuff when its damp out I would check your coil pack, plugs, and wires. Cel...again - Scorpion - 03-23-2007 Yeah, looked at the Xcal2....a little out of my price range ATM, tho I'd like to have one. As for the $10 scan, there are a few places that will do that I guess, but I don;t want to have to go every time I think there is a problem. The wagon is a 2000, so 6/7 years old now, with about 120K on her. So I wanna be able to scan whenever I need to. Also, I can scan friends vehicles too if they need it. Anyone got one of these? S.

A freind of mine bought this....I've used it on my focus and it works great. http://www.myscantool.com/ I'll be placing an order sometime soon.

The X-Cal will scan other cars for codes, too. The tuning is the only thing limited to one car at a time. Kev read mine last year :) Cel...again - Scorpion - 03-24-2007 Thanks for your input guys, appreciate it. Flo, I looked at that unit......and will soon be the proud owner of a new toy :lol: Total $214.00CDN, ($20US off today, too!) which is less than the OBDII at crappytire, and the unit does more...a lot more (ok ok, you need a notebook, but still). So, thank you sir for pointing me in that direction. Now I just gotta wait for it to arrive...3-5 days. Scorp. Cel...again - Mason - 03-24-2007 Ya we sell readers. I beleive they go on sale for like 80$ off again soon... Cant remember at home lol There not cheap though. anywhere between 300 and 600 bux..... so we dont sell alot of em. Cel...again - redZX3 - 03-25-2007 I sell brand new sealed code readers for $40.....It was the best investment that I had ever bought |
