You can download Datamaster and use the RECORD-MONITOR mode for free, and can even record 20 logs before forced to pay the $100 or so registration fee.

TunerPro is also free though I recommend doing the $30 registration fee to help support the DIY efforts and group.

so you can down load this on a laptop and plug your computer into the ALDL connector and see what is going on. Can you tell if the car is lean or rich and check for detonation? thanks

Yep. But you'll need to buy or make a cable. Try www.moates.net for that.

thanks this may be just what I need. Is it hard to figure out how to read it. Does it read the BLMs. I have never done any chip tuning before.
