Autoxray makes good stuff or so I have heard.

I am still trying to find an affordable solution that reads 94/95 cars since they are not OBD1 or OBD2 but sorta a mix of both.

Im aware of the GM Tech One, but there is another scan tool that you can keep plugged in to the socket so that it can track things like MPG, mixture, ect and output it to a computer hookup and give you graphs and charts and such. I saw it in a catalogue and it sold for $130, ill show you when I get home. I take it there is something better though and not as expensive...
