Rich,
I bought a scanner at Kragen for $140. Just saw the same one on sale for $129.00. Kind of steep, but it will tell you EXACTLY whats wrong.
Best of luck to you =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Phillip, =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0I where can I purchase one of those Kragen scanners that will tell me EXACTLY WHATS WRONG.....???????
That sure would cut down on my diagnosing time after hooking up the scanner.

The obvious answer would be Kragen.
But, I get your point. I was only refering to the relative sophistication of OBDII systems. The (granted) few times I have needed to pull a code, it told me EXACTLY what was wrong. ie... o2 sensor, post cat, bank 2, preheat circut=3D replace post cat o2 sensor on the right side. Simple. In that case.
But, I didnt mean to imply that this tool could possibly render a qualified tech obsolete. It's only a tool. But a really useful tool when dealing with OBDII systems, dont you aggree? Really, no offense to you or your skills.
=A0=A0I was just trying to answer the original poster about being able to go into AZ or anywhere else, and have them read your codes. They just dont do it anymore. In my case, I was better off buying a scanner.
I apologize if I left you with the wrong idea. I meant no offense.

No offense taken, and yer point is understood.
I agree.....any scanner is better than no scanner at all.
respectfully
