It is a little overkill, but I figured it I'm going to buy one, I might as well buy one that works with all my cars (I also have a '90 vette). Well worth the money even though I have only used it twice. Worth a thought.

My bro has something similar at work. I hooked it up to my car and ran a full diagnostic test jut for kicks once. Gotta love being a true car nerd.

besides pulling codes what can be done with the obd-2 scanner from alex peper? I bought it years ago, and just recently bought a laptop so now I'm ready to use it. However, I don't really know what I can do with it. I don't have any codes at the moment, but everyone says you can do a lot with this thing. Any ideas?

A lot can be done with it, though you got learn about obd-2 systems,, I don't really know how to use every function. You can run diagnostic tests with it,,,,, three things I know how to use and really like is the ability to see pending codes, being able to see ECT,IAT readings to know how hot the engine truly engine, and being able to capture data from various instruments on the engine when a CEL does occur. You can compare this data to Ford's data of what it should be... helps narrow down problems. Also the instrument cluster screen is cool, you can see your speed, rpm, and 4 other functions in smaller dials under the speedo and tach,,, though you can also change the big dials to display what you want.
