im looking to buy a good obd 1 scanner. anyone have some suggestions?

 

You can get some basic code readers for under $50. If you want to see hard data/parameters, I like my AutoXray 5000.

 

was actually hoping to find something that would do both obd 1 and 2. the basic code readers under 50 are garbage and do nothing on the 94. looking to spend a bit more money

found autoxray 5000 listed for 279 on one site(cheapest i found) and theres one up for auction on ebay for 155 with 5 days left. what did you pay for yours?

 

As posted, the Autoxray 5000 will do OBDI and OBDII. Actron also has some hand held scan tools.

 

I have the Actron cp9145. Very pleased with it. Does everything I need a scan tool to do. It comes in the 9150 kit with all of the cables you will need to hook up to almost everything. I got mine off ebay for around $280

I got the kit for ~$300 or so, can't remember. It came with a Ford, Dodge, & GM OBD 1 and a non-specific OBD2 cable. I have since added a few other manufacturer-specific cables to it along with the PC-Link so I can download updates off their site. I've got a little over $400 into everything now I s'pose. Saved me and others a lot of money. Couple guys paid for two of my cables since they're only about $30 each and a shop as you know will easily charge double that and more.

 

That's what I have as well. I like it.

 

seems like this is the way to go, read some reviews about the actron, and it seems like the auto xray is the better bang for the buck
