Innova 3140 is supposed to do ODB1 & 2, if you have older and newer cars with both connectors.

I bought a scanner (AutoXray) unit 11 years ago. It has paid for itself many times over. Best damn tool in the box!!

Check places like Amazon. The Innova I mentioned listed around $75-$100 less on Amazon than local stores carried it for and it looked like the exact same package. Amazon had a deal (which might still be on) get their credit card and get $50 off the price. Just passing along something I saw, no benefits for providing info.
