i feel if a person can afford a 2-50k for a car with odb2, why the fu k cant a person spend 50$ on a simple code reader. the firstt god damn time it gets used it pays for itself and saves you money over going to a shop.

such a handy tool that so many people over look, ......... i just dont get it
 


I have one...but oreillys, auto zone, and many other auto parts stores do it for free
So some people are probably just why spend the money
 
I stop at Advance and they let me use theirs. If people don't know how to use it they will read your code for you.

I should get one, but right now, it's not necessary.
 
what if a persons car is taking a dump how would you drive there,

ebay 20$

id rather not have to rely on others for such a minamal cost
 


i had a bad experience with my last car (95talon), i spent more time doing harness repairs then driving it, had a pile of factory splices that died,

i hear ya past that though, never had too much grief with cel and drivabilty

its 20$ though.......

Also, i know you can get free reads from american parts stores, but i dont think that happens here in alberta

but at the end of the day in many ways im a cheap bastard, so i cant bring myself to have anyone touch my car
 
A cranksensor is something often over looked with no start issues .

Be nice to have a code reader at home to see its that sensor cause you won't be driving anywhere if that goes completely bad
 
I've currently got 3 of them, two are locked to certain vehicles for tuning, but they'll all read codes. And I'd be lucky if all of my cars combined would be worth 50k.

I want a 4k code reader. It not only reads codes but tells you the value of each sensor. It really helps you know when and what you need to change.

buddy i got a solus ultra that was lightly used, not something i except everyone to buy, but good damn i love that thing, it does so much, lots of tests, and a great troubleshooter section that points out where too look

i get other ppl to pay for it cause i scan cars locally OBD2 code reads/erase, scan, Relearns - Edmonton Auto Repairs, Maintenance Services - Kijiji Edmonton Canada.

i only do about 3 a week but i only have to pay 110 a month, so everything i take from this i put on the bill and should have this baby paid off in no time

Dsm is the first problem with the beginning of this and I agree on the doing more electrical then driving the pile but it sure was fun when I could drive it about 450 to the wheels on 20psi :) Oh and mine was a 95 gst both 5speeds
