Autotap AT2 OBD-II Code Scanner
Guys, I ordered myself a code scanner yesterday. My wife has a 97 Mustang and I have a 98 F150 so I should get good use out of it. She has 53k on her Mustang and I was putting brake pads on it last week and noticed more valve rattle than is appropriate at that milage so wish me luck.
------------------
98 SC/XL/4.2/5 speed/3.08/MoonLight Blue Metalic/Mobil One Synthetic/235.70S.16 Michelin XC LT4/AR-136 Wheels/Chrome Nerf Bars/Bug Shield/Aluminum Tool Box/K&N/Superchip/NOS maybe. Soon.

OK, Good Luck!
Say, if you don't mind, what did the scanner set you back?

It was $249 delivered via UPS. It should be here this coming week. It's newly developed for 1996 and later Fords. It should pay for itself quickly because I have two Fords and my sister has a 97 Mustang also.
It's an adapter to plug the obd into your serial port on a laptop. You can read the codes and reset any that you find once you fix them. It ought to be interesting...
I do know that my wifes throwout bearing is going bad so I have a couple of problems with that Mustang; clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and whatever is causing the valves to rattle.

OK guys, thanks for the info! I haven't paid attention to the aftermarket scanners for the OBD-II units, other than knowing how much more expensive they are in general. I need to break down and bite the bullet for one!
Thanks,
