What Scan tool do you use?
Just wondering what scan tool folks are using and if they like it or not. I'm thinking about replacing mine (I've got an AutoXray Techscan 7000) and I'd need a until that can handle both OBD-I and II...
So... recommendations?

The codes for many OBD I vehicles can be obtained by using a paper clip. I know the '84 I had the codes could be obtained this way.

Well, I was going to recommend my AutoXray 6000 to you, but you already have the better 7000...I do like the 6000 scanner though...

This is my second autoxray, I had the 4000 before ( the olive green one..I think that was the number) but it was stolen. I liked it, never had an issue. Lately though I'm seeing problems with their customer support. My 7000 isn't compatible with the autoxray pc software, they have a different program specifically for the 7000 which doesn't seem to work well with Vista. For my 94 there are some software errors with the scanner ( wrong units and things like that) so I'm not entirely confident in it. It's ok, but I'm seriously considering going back to the other model.

Scanner
If you want to work on OBD 1 and OBD 2 stuff may I suggest looking on ebay for a used snap on tool. Like the mt2500(the brick) the solus or the solus pro. But know this up dates can cost big $ so get one with the latest you can. These are not just code pullers they can do so much moor. Want to know moor? Try this do a Google search for a guy called scanner danner and watch some of his vids. You might find them interesting! Good luck
