Obd?

[acjjkamp]

I want to get an OBD diagnostic tool, but cant decide on a PC based program or a stand alone like the Scanguage II

Any suggestions?
Pro's, con's?

I have had both, and I am now using Autoenginuity software and their hookup for the computer. It is cool and has a lot of tools that you might not think of, like a Race package where you can set your own race(for time). Live wire looks at lotsa things like EGT, manifold pressure and the like. I would spend the exrta bucks for this package. AutoEnginuity® - OBD2 Scan Tool - Professional PC and PDA Diagnostics

that would be a nice setup, but that's expensive

i need something cheaper to clear the cel that came on last weekend that is cheaper than taking it to the dealer

i would love to get a tuner for towing since that will clear codes too, but the boss won't let me spend that much

A good tuner will run you 3 to 400 bucks. The Autoenginuity software is a great tool, I have it and a tuner too. But I use the Autoenginuity all the time and you can get real time info when driving. Nice thing is it works on all my cars and trucks.

i use car code. granted i have not spent the time to figure it all out. it does do the specific Ford extended range stuff. nice thing is it will run on just about any piece of junk laptop or computer that you might have lying about.
