Default Diagnostic tool and/or engine monitor?

Hey all,

Is there any aftermarket manuf. out there that makes a diagnostic scan tool. I am also looking for some type of engine monitor similar to an Apexi Multichecker, or Blitz Power Meter.

My car has been acting up lately and I need to see what's going on with it.

I have a 93 LS400, so it's gonna be OBDI.

If any of you guys have any suggestions please let me know!

thanks
Chris

I haven't done it yet myself, but you can use a laptop. You can buy the cable for 50-100 and the software is available to download for free. It's much less than a hand-held.

Do a search for "obd2" or "obdii software". Most vendors will offer the cable to go with the free download. Let me know how it goes for you.
