I need an advise.
The car is 1995 SSEi and I'm looking for a scanning tool.
Possibly PC based or something else.
I know there was that mixup with OBD 1 and II on 1995.
I went to mech a month or so ago and he said my CEL is on because of EGR.
Changed it and the light still on. I just want to own my own scan tool and need an opinion.
Thank you in advance.

An Actron cp9110 scan tool with the GM cartridge and GM OBDII cord would work well. It'* not pc-based though.
A pc based option was talked about not too long ago here:

Where you at? Might be member nearby that already has one

I'm in Brooklyn, NY.

With a 95, you're gonna spend some money on a scan tool, because you need "GM Specific" (aka OBD 1.5)

My AutoXray 5000 reads that, but it cost me about 400 bucks.

We got a few members up in your neck of the woods, though. Maybe one of them will offer to help.

Cheapest most reliable and proven option is the CP9110 from Actron with the CP9115 cable (hard to find, but you can make one yourself). I use this unit for both my cars, including my 95.

eBay is a good source for it. Just make sure you get the GM cartridge, and here'* a link to Bill Buttermore'* writeup on making your own cable:

I just bought Actron 9145 on E Bay for $125. There was one 9110 for $50 ,but I decided to get 9145 in case I will own 1996 or after vehicle later on.Can't wait to put my hands on it.
I just love troubleshooting (don't like to drive broken car though LOL )
Thank you all for your advice.

I just want to post a update on my "fight" with "Check engine" light.
After the scan I've got all bunch of codes including EGR fault,QDM1 and QDM 4 fault,evapor fault etc.
Today I fixed everything in 5 min.All it takes to put somer pieces of puzzle together.
I bought the car 2 months ago.Cruise control didn't work,Check engine light was on,strong smell of fuel around evap canister.After I scanned the car I was browsing this forum and I saw somebody posted a page from service manual. It shows an EGR solenoid,evapor,boost solenoid all get 12v from one fuse - #5 CRUISE CONTROL FUSE on passenger side panel.
Fuse WAS BURNED and after I changed it the Check engine light is gone,all codes are gone.
The only one left is QDM 1,which I think I will pinpoint later.
I just think this info will be usefull for somebody to fix a car with similar symptoms.

Regards
