it will read your fault codes but wont fix the problem!
Always found it good on vauxhalls but useless on everything else.
A good poor mans fault code reader!

well the car is strugglin. its got a new head gasket and all cylinders are workin satisfactory but the idle is still there. i took off the breather hoses and connected em back up and the engine calmed down a bit, it was like it was goin to take off before. but its still rattling quite a bit. if i turn up the idle screw a little bit, the engine is really loud. that enough info? what u think?

Do you have the ecu light up? If not it will be useless, if so then just do the 'paper clip' test to read the codes. So in all honesty its a waste of money.

yeah if ur ecu light is on then just turn ur ignition off but a paper clip in the top left 2 slots in ur diagnostic port and turn ur ignition on,the ecu light will flash out the code them 2 pins only work for reading the fault codes of the 1.0 12v engine
