Default Where to start?

Greetings,

I want to get started on scanning my 85. No heads/cam/ etc mods, just bolt-ons like headers and so forth. Whats the best way to start? Should I go the laptop/cable/winaldl route or is one of those devices the best to get started with?

Any good entry-level articles/tutorials for a starting point going the winaldl route?

Thanks!

TunerProRT supports the one year only computer in your car for real time datalogging and scanning

Need a cable

TunerProRT will also allow you to adjust the tune on your car but you need other hardware like a chip (EEPROM) programmer and a adapter for the new chip to replace the stock chip in the computer

Good reading here

Has not been updated recently and technology has changed but the theory and principles still the same

You no longer have to erase and reburn a stock chip, just electronically program a chip ( EEPROM ;Electronically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory ) as above
