Thinking about getting a diagnostic code reader
I posted this in C3 section but didn't get any answers, maybe you guys can help me. I am thinking about getting a code reader for the 82. Mostly because I have to clear the Check Engine light and I think it will come in handy. I really don't want to cross jump the connector so i figured I should get a reader. I've seent hem for like $50 but :confused:
Anyone have one, or know which one to get? Price, where to get it?
Thanks

Re: Thinking about getting a diagnostic code reader (82dukman)
To clear the codes from an 82, you have to disconnect the battery (the only other option *might* be with a Tech I tool, but I am not sure cause I haven't used one).
Believe it or not, the $50 code scanners are the same jumper in a "rugged plastic connector". The best solution is going to your nearest AutoZone and getting the code key for free. It IS the exact same thing without the housing.
