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...

No real suggestions...
I have the older Actron CP9110 and the GM 84-95 Card and ALDL cable, I also have ther OBD2 16 pin cable to read the 94-95 GM cars with the 16 pin connector...
I also have an Actron CP9145 Which is capeable of reading GM, Ford , Dodge up through 1995... And its also OBD2, it will read 1996 and later cars and trucks as well... Global OBD2 I think they call it... It has an internal battery, also a cable to run off the battery and or power port...
This would be the one above..

Not the greatest by any means but they both do what I need them to do..
