Scanned car for first time using freescan. I have no idea how to interpret most of what it is telling me. The only trouble code I got was code 18 something like not functioing or not active I'm not sure, anyone have idea what this might be?

DTC 18 is fuel injector circuits. One of your injectors has a problem, either in the coil on the injector, or in the wire controlling it.

For interpreting the data from your log:

Thanks injuneer. How do I fix this? Could it be bad injector or is it wiring? If it is wiring what do I do run new wires to the bad injector. I know for sure cyl7 is not getting gas and I think cyl3 may not be getting quite enough. I know this by feeling the injector plug for any ticks or pulses. All the others seem fine.

Any more help for above questions?

DTC 18 simply checks for the continuity of the circuit to each injector. It can't determine if its a wiring problem or an injector problem, and niether can anyone else based on the code alone. You need to get an injector checking tool, commonly called a "noid light" and make sure each injector is getting the ground signal from the PCM required to fire it.
