I've got a thread going on the tech forum, and it got me wondering if there's a good, readily available diagnostic tool for my '88. I'll never be accused of brilliance, so the more it can tell me, the better. Is such a thing even available?
Got a link? Thanks guys. |

Used Tech I....figure around $500 with the cartridge, cable, etc.
Or you can use a laptop with tuning software and cable for basic stuff - seeing what sensors read, etc. Really depends on your usage. Matthew |

I'd like to get something that is badass. Historically I tend to get close with dignostics, but I'd like to get closer and eliminate time wasting, wrong parts buying and all that. I found this on the 'bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rinda- ... Tools&hash=item20baf76b41 Or how 'bout this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBD1-O ... Tools&hash=item336974296c |

Diacom is a oldie but goodie DOS program.
Was a $500 program in the early '90's but uses a unique Diacom only cable that needs the now obsolete serial port connection ( as the included laptop has) Diacom user interface is not so user friendly as more modern Windows based programs but you can playback saved Diacom datalogs in Datamaster to view with real time graphing of 4 selected parameters See http://powertuneplus.com/syclone/tunersguide_dm.shtm Datamaster program is free to download.(select file for your engine ) http://www.ttspowersystems.com/DataMaster_downloads2.html Gives unlimited playback of Diacom logs and also does data-logging in it's own right ; 20 times for free before you have to buy it using correct USB cable. http://www.aldlcable.com NB: this USB/ALDL cable works with any modern data / tuning software ( except Diacom ) |
