Hey everyone,

Not a Mustang question but I would rather ask here since on the other forum they consider illuminated door sills modifications. So I am looking to purchase an OBD 2 Code reader for my 2004 Acura TSX since the Mtn light is on. Do any of you know of a good brand or model. Could I pick one up used on EBAY?

If I was using it to make a living (mechanic) I'd get a better quality one, but for only needing it once and a while...

Here is one Checker sells for $69.99:

I got the same one from Kragen for $59.95. The instruction book has translations for all the codes. I haven't used it yet but it looks like it will fill my needs.

That's weird, my Holley doesn't have a diagnostic port.
