Hi all. I need a smaller handheld OBD scanner. OBD2 code readers can read OBD1 correct? I have a 2x2 to "OBD2" cable. (Pic of type: http://www.alpha-bid.com/media/Product-Pics/2X2/2WayAdapter.JPG ) Any recommends on an affordable but thorough code reader? Using Ross Tech freeware I found this DTC: "Intermittent Short To Ground Coolant sensor" DTC. I need something for the engine management that is that thorough. For lack of a better term. Jason Newton recently used his Snap On scanner and found the same DTC. (he also gave me some trouble shooting pointers which were really helpful. Thanks Jason!) I don't need something that comprehensive, (!) but just to give a POV on how in depth I need to get. Don't need air bag etc scanning abilities. Just engine management. Thanks, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines
