I have come to the conclusion that I love my scan gauge and can't for the life of me figure out how I survived without one before.
The data is amazing. The trip functions incomparable. The peace of mind AWESOME!
What made me want to post this is an incident that happened on the way to work today.
I was stopped at a red light waiting to turn left. Then suddenly my van had a severe shudder for a second. It felt like every cylinder misfired sequentially and then all was fine. I looked down and sure enough the SES is on. Normally I would at this point be running a million scenarios through my head all driving me insane not knowing what is up and how much it's going to cost me to repair. Not this time. I quick reached forward pressed the home key then the scan key. Scanned the ECM now I was expecting a 3000 series misfire code but what do I discover, that pesky PO113 code that's been jumping on and off as of late. So I hit clear codes then the home key then back to gauges......All before the light turns green. Once again happy content and concentrating on driving and work.

Never have I had something like that happen vehicle wise before....... I've had many of weird occurrences with worried thoughts until I could get my van scanned. Never just poke poke oh ok back on task.
Now to replace that pesky IAT sensor and finally be done with it.
Also I did the math..... I've pulled 2 different codes and done one initial checking for saved codes scan. By my calculations my Scan gauge has now paid for it's self. Well if your paying the dealer to pull codes anyways.
