Actron CP9125 = FTMFW 
The Equus 3130 Scan Tool – CanOBD2® ($299) may costs a lot more than the actron but also gets the job done. Besides showing the codes like the actron, it tells u a small description of the code. [no need to look for that booklet on what the code(s) mean.] It even lets u know if u will pass emissions or not before going to the smog station. All for less than that $4,000 code reader that u have. (With about $3700 left to spare for mods and tune)

i got mine at sears for 80 bucks. it comes with software for you comp that tells you what all codes mean. its the pocket size scan tool. you can read and erase codes with it. works on all 1996 and up obd2 vehicles. ive used it a few times already and man ill tell you it definately comes in handy and worth every penny. it beats the hell outta taking it somewhere and them chargin you 45 or 50 bucks just to tell you whats wrong. some places like advanced auto or autozone dont charge you to hook it up but just wastes your time and sometimes you cant drive it up there so its always handy to have.

OK I got to call you out on this. This is a link to a thread that this chick started. Just read it.

She calls us cheap for buying a $30 scanner and she claims to have a $4k scanner, yet she says she does not have the money for a tune and she has a intake, exhaust, mbc and she wants to know why her car is running bad at boost.
