Why not just buy an xcal2, get a tune for the car and a datalogger and code reader....Its what just $50-100 more?

And it's VIN locked, you can't use it for any other car, I use it for all my vehicles.
I generally charge people $10 (donation, cheaper than $80 at the dealer) to read their codes, to defray the cost of my purchase. Probably half paid off now.

The XCAL2 tunes are locked for 1 vehicle, you can do datalogging and read codes on ANY ford vehicle.

I got one on eBay for $50. Canadian seller, too. Was at my door in 2 days.

autozone reads codes for free. (are there autozones in canada?)
and don't pay more for the ones that give you a description of the code, just the code plus the internet is good enough
