AutoXray Automotive GM OBD I code scanner

Is this the scanner I will need to catch the TPS voltage??? I know I could do the ole' alligator clip trick, but the fact of owning a scanner is VERY useful. I have found one for about 159.99 on a website and I need to know if this will read the TPS. I have read that it reads all the sensors, but it does not get specific.

Thanks Brotheren'

It will read the TPS. I have a autoxray and think it works great. I use a laptop when I do data logging and Autoxray when I drive for a long time and what to check my car.... The battery time with a laptop isnt good enough......

Check out ebay......you should be able to fins used one...

I just stick the leads to my digital volt/ohm meter into the wires for the tps on my 85 and read it that way. Use the top and middle wires.... Of course that makes it hard to read while driving.....

Auto X-Ray scanner

Can anybody tell me more about the Auto X ray scanner
Iam thinking of buying one but first I would be good to know
more about them . I have a 2003 Classic Industries catalog and they have one listed on page 600 . I live in australia so I would have to inport one from the U.S , a copy of instruction book would be great , my car is a 1986 305 TPI is there only one model if more than one which would be the best to suit my car .
Thanks Steve
