What do you guys use for analytics of the ECM?

Datamaster is about $100.

Others are free.

What works, that's the most important issue.

Thanks

Datamaster is WORTH $100, the others i dont reckon are worth the download.

Thats just me, but Datamaster is pretty damn good.

Any of you guys used Ease?

No, cant say ive heard of it, is it any good?

Datamaster gives you 20 scans for free when you first download it. It works great, I wasted 6 scans trying to figure it out, after that it is great, got the USB cable online.

Hi Guys,

I acquired a 1987 C4 about a year ago and I am still finding may way around it. I have changed the ignition wires and the oil but nothing more ambitious than that so far.

I would really be interested in acquiring some analytic software. I tried to Google Datamaster but all I got was links to this site.

Any idea where one would go to buy the software and the cable?

Sorry for the novice inquiry in amongst your learned discussion.

Thanks.

See if this helps. http://www.aldlcables.com/sc/details.asp?item=aldlbareu

Oh, check out the software tab.

Or the cable listed by Dads90 ubove, which is the same without the molded 12 pin plug. (i think they are the same price these days, not sure.)

I have an Ease Code Reader. Great product but was way overpriced...lower priced units would do the same functions

IMHO their products are high quality but also too high $$

Hello all,

Following Casey's advice, I sent away for the Datamaster. I got it from TTS Power Sytems through Andrew Mattei at AKM Electronics which went very smoothly. Thanks, Casey.

All I have to do now is figure out what the heck I am looking at.

One question right up front is that I got an Error Code 32, related to the EGR system. I looked that up in the Service Manual and trouble shooting it involves an array of tests using a scanner and vacuum guage, neither of which I have. I am at a bit of a loss knowing where to start.

The car is running fine and I don't think I would have known about this except for running the Datamaster. I guess I could remove the plenum and start replacing parts.

Do any of you learned gentlemen have any suggestions for the novice? If I have posted this in the wrong area, please forgive me and let me know where it should go.

Thanks,
Tony
