http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?3829 looks like a good deal. i figure since my idle sux yet the car runs perfect above 1000rpm and i have a pms on the way and ill be doing all my own tuning, this would be helpful. i know how to count lights and all that good stuff but this just seems a lot easier because a digital number cant be mistaken like a flash of light can. pretty good price too

I use the old "flashing light" version of that. I think I would like that one better, though. It would be alot easier.

Thats the same one I have. I got mine at wal-mart for 29.99. Best tool in my toolbox. Hook it up, start her up, press a few buttons it tells you whats wrong with your car. Aint Life Grand

FWIW, it seems to be regional. The Wally mart I go to does not sell code readers at all.

I would use the LCD version myself, were I buying a reader.

Good luck.

You know Justin, Like you probably, I cant stand using a test light. I like the beeps (I am simple, and like to write numbers down while I listen to beeps).

But I have an old-school reader for my '88 (SD, ergo no CEL). Having stuff stored with an LCD seems mint since I always wonder if I kicked a number. My OBD-II reader obviously has the LCD (but no memory) and I like the idea.
