Looking for a OBD I scanner/reader

Looking for a scanner/reader if anyone out there has a good used one for sale or has upgraded to a better diagnostic tool. Tired of using the paper clip and counting flashes.

Thanks...

Your car must break a lot!

There's an excellent one available new, maybe used called an AutoXray 7000 a freind has the older 6000 and it's almost as good. Does all OBDI and II up to 2010 when I got mine, upgradable, will log for glitches, memory card etc... under $300. HTH!

No, not really...Just done alot of mods under the hood, i.e. slp siamese runners, ported plenum, headers, new temp sensors, bypassed coolant TB, performance chip from pcmforless, and a new maf. Seems like I fix one code and another one pops up. Trying to get this damn tpi dialed in. Another member suggested AutoXray as well. Don't really have the cash to fork out 3-400 bucks, but maybe I'll have to.
