Want to buy a fault code reader.

Post by norco »

Hi all,

Misfire when cold is still driving me a bit mad. Was keen to see if I could work out myself whats wrong and was looking at this:

I have very limited car mech experience! Would this be the tool to help diagnose a misfire?

Thanks in advance!

a good one now adays is one that goes through your phone if you have an android phone get a blue tooth obd2 port and then a app cost about10 in total
if you have a iphone get a wifi obd2 port and the app which cost about the same

its really good as you can get such things as boost gauges aswell as the diagnostics plus its handy to have on your phone also it links you to the internet to find out more about the codes it brings up

I bought the unit Hungry recommended! Will have a look at the weekend. I'll have a look on the play site Shearermax! Thanks for the tip.
