Ok guy i need help. i want to get a scan to to check out my chip that I have been getting burnt. Already on my 3rd chip and Im sick of bugging people with there scanners. where can I get a scanner to read my block learn and stuff. and how much are they. I don;t have a lap top so that outa the ? Just want soemthnig basic that will read the data while im driving? By the way i have a 1991 Z28

 

same here i would like to no myself

 

Probably an autoxray. Prices vary from 150-300 bucks.

 

You can get a refurbished Auto X-Ray from a place in Phoenix, Arizona for ~120$. Sorry, can't remember the name of the place. I bet Google knows.

 

would this work. its at summit and is 175
part # AXY-10110 GM: 1982-1995 vehicles with a 12 pin ALDL connector and OBD-1 computers, diagnostic scanner. would this do what i need it to and will it work when im driving to read the stuff?

 

Yes. I used to have one before I went the laptop route.

 

Access to a laptop, spend $10 to make your own aldl cable or 25$ to buy one and use moates free software. works like a charm :-)

Try and remember could you? I want one...

 

it's SO much cheaper to go the laptop route, I have a 75mhz butterfly laptop that ran moates software and I got that thing for 40 bucks, another 40 for the pre made aldl cable and with under 100 bucks I was able to read everything I wanted and was that much closer to burning my own proms.

I'm not trying to sound rude, but don't spend 150+ on an auto X-Ray, they're pointless when for less you can be scanning w/ a laptop. just look around and you'll find a deal.

 

I may be overly cautious, but why the hell did you bypass your knock sensor?

 

Ok guys, did some research on the Auto X-ray diagnostic scanner. The only thing I cannot find about it, but does it record things? With my friends autotap for obd ii, he can hit record, go down the 1/4 track, hit stop, and look at all his sensors during the wot run. Is it possible to do that with the auto X-ray diagnostic scanner?

 

It records, VERY slowly and only for like, 10 seconds or so if I remember correctly. If you want to record data, go the laptop route.

 

ok so I might have a free laptop now. no can someone tell me where I can get the cable or how to make the cable and can someone post me the link to the free software and how hard is it to do all this is it pretty self expl. thanks

 

Head on over to the Prom forum. All the info is in stickies at the top.
