Well this ought to be fun

Hey all, just about ready to delve into the depths of my least favorite subject, wiring. Involved is my 1988 GT which is a Saleen Clone that has been converted to mass air(new computer/harness/etc) I have dash wiring issues, underhood wiring issues, and trunk area wiring issues, I guess you could just say I have issues... Anyway step one is I need a code reader, I know you can do it with a variety of inexpensive tools but I want something that will read obd1 and odb2(wifes car) and display the codes onscreen. I'd love a snap-on but thats way out of budget. Can you guys recommend a decent tool thats not crazy expensive but isn't dreck either?
thanks!
Matt

Hey I got one at checker for a little under 300 and it works pretty well comes with all the adaptors and everything. I hate reading Obd 1 though cuz its like ( start your car , turn off your car , start your car rev your car, turn you car, ect lol ) oh well if you need the brand let me know maybe they have a website.

Not to say that they don't exist, but rather that I just don't know of them, but I have only ever seen code readers that either read OBD1, OR OBD2, and not both.

The ones that read both either cost alote or are hard to find. (example snapon modis does both)
