Anyone know where you can find a good scan tool that can display real time sensor readings on an OBS1 system for a 91 z28 5.0? can that be done on an OBD1 system? I got the Actron auto scanner plus and its helped me a lot with diagnosing problems based on sensor readings. My camaro seems to have a new problem every week and its becoming very hard to trace these problems and very expensive taking it to the shop.

If you have a laptop a lot of folks like DataMaster. If you are more of a DIY'r there is Tuner Pro RT (on a laptop). Will need to either make or purchase an ALDL cable (www.moates.net).
