I'm using an Actron CP9690. It reads I and II and resets codes if you want. https://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP9690.../dp/B011ICD2WQ
Will this work on a '93?

It works on my 91 and have also used it on my OBD II cars. On the 91 have pulled codes and recorded readings while running in addition to using to erase codes.

I also have a 1993 , Im wondering what On Board system she has ? Im pretty sure its prior to OBDll ? Actually Id like to get readings while running , such as to a screen of some kind ? The 1993 has the computer which can be opened, & back in the day folks changed out the chip to affect different performance s, so I am told ?

'93's most definitely have OBD 1. I'm told '95's have an OBD 2 connector, but the 96 is the first year with OBD 2.
akilm-- does the scan tool you mentioned have an OBD 1 connector, or will I need and OBD 1 to 2 adapter?
Thanks,
Ronn

That might be proactive as you say to have a comparison to readings if I do have an issue in the future. Thank you for the suggestion.
