I am a X GM tech who used to work on fuel injection in the 80's. Due to and back injury I had to give it up. For the better part of a decade I did not touch a car repair wiseunless I had to. About98 I got back into cars as a hobby but I only worked on the older ones. I have the Camaro in my sig and a 68 pick up. Now I want to geta 4th gen and get back into fuel injection.
Something like this:

If I understand it right the system I know how to work on was obsoleted in 95. I had used many scan tools and really liked the OTC tool and the brain master. I still carry thejummper for getting codes out of the computer on my key change. My question was what scannerdo I need? I see so many different makes and each maker has 3 or 4 models.I would like to get codes and look as sensor inputs and driver out puts. It would be nice to be able to look at a history of what we called the block learn (AKA fuel map history).

I am still a hobbiest so I do not want to pay $600 but I would like to view the map sensor in real time.

Maker?
Model?
Best place to get it?

Thanks in advance.

Is this whatI want? Someone must work on the OB2 systems

Looks like something you might want. I'm not sure. I have HPTuners, which can read codes, datalog, allows you to adjust most anything you want. z28pete could probably show you what you're looking for.

 

Ouch! thats a tad pricey. Looks like they are going to have a plain scanner type tool in the near future for right now they only have the tunner software.
