diagnostic tool...What's it called?

[Florida240sx]

Couple people sold them about 2 months ago here and now I can't think of it for the life of me. Plugs into your cars port and tells you your timing etc. Usually go for like 2-300.....thought it was consult....

there are different names for different brands. the snap on ones are just called scan tools. and otc makes one too but i forgot what those are called. you can just go to ebay and just type in snap on scan tool and a few should show up.

What your looking for is consult-I interface.

A couple random places to get interfaces and software, obviously you can design/build your own as well as utilize a variety of software for pc or handheld/pda.

That PLMS unit looks great for the $$$. As far as I understand, you can not only monitor and log sensor outputs, but you can run diagnostic tests like the cylinder deactivation thing. I'm definitely ordering one of those to help fix some issues with my car.

So I can have it for $150 from that site...But need a laptop to display it......

Is the timing monitoring 0 - 5v? The reason I am asking is because I have a Zeitronix Wideband that has a feature to monitor a user port.

You can also use the Techtom CMX-100n on 240s. I have one in my SE-R and in the 240. It is very small and only monitors MAF voltage, injector duty cycle (as a %), water temp and vehicle speed.

The beauty is it has peak recall available, so you can make a run and then see the peak value reached on whichever sensor you're monitoring while on the return road at the dragstrip. This is great for turbo cars to make sure you're not maxxing out either the MAF or injectors. The CMX is the only one with peak recall ability, too.

http://www.technosquareinc.com has the Techtom units.

As for the Consult boxes...I just acquired one of them and am running Consultan software (freeware). Pretty freaking cool, as you can see all the sensors in real time and log them. They even have the software for Mac OS X.
