Won’t run with scanner plugged in

So this has been an ongoing problem that I haven’t shed light on. Every time I try to scan my truck, it won’t start with the scanner plugged in. If i plug in the scanner with it running, the truck shuts off. 2001 7.3 with 95k

What scanner are you using, i would venture to say it's not compatible!

Does the truck have a chip? Put an EF choke or two on the cable near the PCM.
