   I am so glad I took a chance on this scanner. It is true that you can use a paperclip and count the flashes of your check engine light, but as 1986 Mustang GT’s DON’T have the light in the 1st place, I had to either hook up a test light or get this scanner. BUT– what I didn’t know was that the included book has great instructions for doing 4 different types of tests, 2 or 3 of which you will never read about on the internet. The only test that is covered well on the net is the KOEO, but this book also gives instructions for the KOER, the cylinder test, and the relay check. The book is worth at least as much as the machine.
   I have used this scanner on 2 different vehicles- the ’86 Ford Mustang and a ’90 Ford Bronco.
   The only ‘problem’ I encountered was that one of the connector spades tried to retreat up into the scanner. I pulled it back out with pliers and made sure the metal stay tab was pushed out to hold it in place. Very minor problem.
   I -HIGHLY- recommend getting the extension cable, so you can do all the pedal and button pushing, steering wheel turning, etc. when prompted on the display.
   This was a great purchase, a great value for the money.

   Nice book with lots of clear ENGLISH instructions and extra general info about how the computer works etc., and a full list of codes. Unit itself is professional looking high quality gear, you won’t be embarrassed to use it. (Unlike how dirt-cheap some certain orange colored tools from a certain unnamed place can appear)

   I bought a ’93 Lincoln Towncar, and it has an intermittent MIL. It’s «EGR insufficient flow» so can be largely ignored. If a couple cans of Seafoam won’t cure it in the next couple of weeks, I’ll replace the $35 EGR valve and/or clean the carbon out of the manifold passageways.

   A note about the OBDI which is what these cars have: unlike ‘modern’ OBDII, the MIL operates in real time. (MIL = Malfunction Indicator Light or «check engine» light) With OBDII, if the MIL is triggered, it stays on for the most part. If it’s a one time event, many start/stop cycles might turn it back off, but it usually needs to be cleared. With OBDI, the light may go back out, come back on, go back out as you drive. (It does in my case) The car’s computer has a stored code area, which this tester has access to, so, you can see what’s triggering the MIL as it happens, AND check the stored codes too. In my case, the codes just refer to the (probably intermittently sticking) EGR valve and nothing else, so the price paid for the code reader is worth the piece of mind at the very least.

   As for buying the extension cable, (or not) on the Towncar, the OBDI connector is on the driver’s side fender, so I can prop the tester up and read it by leaning out the window during run-up testing. It depends on where your diagnostics port is as to whether you need the extension cable. You do need to see the display during real-time testing. If you’re chasing an intermittent MIL, you’ll need a cable to run under the hood and into a window so you can have the tester inside while you drive and have a friend watch the display.

   If you have a car or truck within the years recommended for this unit, it’s a must. Makes things easy to check an locate problems. Why pay a dealer 125.00 to check a code,when for 25.00 you can check it yourself an put the money towards the parts needed. Make sure you get the cable, pricey but worth it.

   Tested a 1992 Ford F-150 4.9/6 2WD
