Ebay scanner
Has anyone else had any experience with these OBDII scanners? It plugs into the OBD port under the dash and sends streaming live info to a laptop or phone. I use it with an Android phone and a free program called Torque. I now have a lot of info on what the engine is doing:
1.Read diagnostic trouble codes and display their meaning (over 3000 generic code definitions in the database).
2.Clear trouble codes and turn off the MIL ("Check Engine" light)
3.Display current sensor data, including:
4.Engine RPM
5.Calculated Load Value
6.Coolant Temperature
7.Fuel System Status
8.Vehicle Speed
9.Short Term Fuel Trim
10.Long Term Fuel Trim
11.Intake Manifold Pressure
12.Timing Advance
13.Intake Air Temperature
14.Air Flow Rate
15.Absolute Throttle Position
16.Oxygen sensor voltages/associated short term fuel trims
17.Fuel System status
18.Fuel Pressure
Now I would like to find some people running the same 2.3/manual and compare notes. I want to use it to wring every last mpg I can from this truck.
