98 Expy 5.4 - Best Code Scanner

Hello All,

Any recommendations for the best value on a code scanner to keep my 98 expy rolling for a few more years?

Somehow I've managed to survive without one, but she's been having some hesitation problems lately, so this could be a worthwhile investment.

J.

They run from $20 up to $25K. How much do you want to spend and what kind of features are you looking for?

Myself, I use the Autoxray 6000. Besides codes, it gives you freeze frame data, and real time engine monitoring. It also comes with the software and cable to hook it up to a computer so you can get updates or display data from the unit on your monitor.

I agree with the autoxray 6000. Unlesss you can find a killer deal on a NGS with the correct software on ebay.
