Mesoam Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 My cheapie code scanner died...Went for something no one responded to when I made a threadPicked up a "Scan Gauge" Its a pretty nice unit. Functions as real time gauges (RPM, MPH, MPG, GPH, Water temp, engine load, ignition timing, i'm sure i'm forgetting some). Not all the func's work on our cars such as MAP sensor (duh), FPR, intake temps and a few others. $130 from ScanGauge.com (free priority mail shipping)I had it mounted on the wheel column which blocked my clock/outside temp. Didn't like that plus I don't need to monitor it non stop. So i put it on the bottom of the ash tray which still opens fine and does NOT interfeer with the PRNDL stick (i moved it to N for the pics) Install options are still mulling arround my headAnywho i like it and i think its worth the $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiku Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 i think it goes straight to OBDII connector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 i think it goes straight to OBDII connector?←Well, that would explain why its a Scan Gauge Reads what it scans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorqueSteer Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 So that can show timing advance or retard, if compared to base numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesoam Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 so a while worth of driving netted some cool stuff...water temp peaks arround 208 even in traffic..lowest is arround 176 cruising in the cool airtiming seems to fluctuate alot in the 20deg area...the throttle position never reads 100 even at WOT its arround 90 and is also never at 0, arround 10 (i think)want to observe the open/close loop on WOT (forgot)as well as engine loadthis thing is pretty schweet guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
