The OBD2 scanner (depending on what brand/model you get) can do anything from just reading the codes to doing full diagnostics and checking the values on say things such as an Air/Fuel sensor value or temperature, etc.
There are also laptop based programs that use a piece of hardware to connect the laptop to the vehicle and those are also pretty good.
What I'd recommend is to either send me a PM or better yet post up in forum what OBD2 models you are looking at (because I'm not sure what you have available where you're at) and I'll let you know.

IT2 is unrealistic even in china they ask 1600 usd for that one ..ive been looking at scannet and motodigi as well...

next one http://www.carobdii.com/lydproduct.asp?id=418 <---- that one is around 180 usd ..i can find them as low as 50$ but seems like they dont offer a/f specs and so on ..the elm327 thingy could also be the thing ..i just want as many ft for as little $ as possibel ...seems like most is prduced in china ..i also found a densofactory "googeling for the a/f sensors" here in indonesia im still stunned by that :P..expensive parts cheap labour sounds like good biz i honestly thought that was produced in japan
