I have a couple of Mac Mentor tools, and I like them a lot. Much more than the MT2500.

They're a glorified OTC Genesys type scanner and work well for OBD1 vehicles.

I went to O Reilly to have my '94 scanned - to see if there were any codes it - just got the car last month - hooked it up and it couldn't "connect" - tried several times - they said I needed to see if the fuse is blown - went home to pull the manual and can't find it in the manual - help please.

I guess I was assuming they would do that before trying to hook it up - it was a blue unit that said it was for 1 & 2 types.

If it is a code reader, it should be cheap. I'd get a scanner that can read live data or forgot it and borrow from someone who has one.

To scan for trouble codes the scanner has to have a jumper from the ALDL A and B terminals. To read real time data you need to have a resister in the interface cable to I believe terminal. www.aldlcable.com
