 A value code reader April 26, 2010

Easy to use and easy to follow instructions. A great way to save some money for those mysterious alarms that pop up.
 Not for cars newer than 1995 April 8, 2010

This may well be a very good product, but I wouldn't know because the Amazon description does not make it clear that this product is only for vehicles built between 1981 and 1995. Only if you zoom in on the picture can this fact be seen printed on the product.
Apparently, before 1995, manufacturers used their own code system known as OBD1. After that time, OBD2 was introduced. This later coding requires a more sophisticated diagnostics reader with a new type of standardized connector and code system, but has the benefit of not being manufacturer specific.
 Ford OBDI Code Reader March 17, 2010

I purchased this code reader after the check engine light came on in my 1994 Ford Ranger. It works very well and the price makes it a great value. I also purchased the extension cable which cost more than the code reader, but it was very handy to have it so I could sit in the front seat which is necessary for some of the tests.
works as described, nice manual March 4, 2010
Joe Smith (Cape Cod MA USA)
I was satisfied with this item, although I initially plugged it in backwards; when I finally got it plugged in right, it worked as described. I wanted to get the extension cord for it also, but it seemed too expensive for what it was. Basically when you plug the unit into the plug in the engine compartment, you do one set of tests that work fine when you are standing there with the device. But then, when you are getting a passing grade on that test, there are two more levels of testing that may require you to tap on the gas or brakes from the drivers seat and if you are doing that, you can't look at the code reader at the same time to see when it is ready to move to the next step, unless you have two people doing it, or buy the extension cable so the device can be in the driver's seat with you. The manual is pretty well written and thorough, but then in my case I still needed my ford factory service manuals that I also bought online, to tell me specifically what the codes meant.
Equus 3145 Ford Digital Code Reader Works February 5, 2010
Kunta Kinte (Tampa, FL.)
I had a problem with my 94 Ford Taurus 3.8l engine stalling after sitting for a few minutes. used the code reader to discover that one of my sensors was bad. After replacing the sensor I still had the problem. Although the reader The MAP was ok,I replace it also. The MAP was good and that did not solve my problem. The problem is that Ford recalled the fuel pump on the car in 1994. It was the cause of the problem. It causes the car to have an effect like a vapor lock. At lease the code reader save me from spending more money. I think it was a very good deal. It forced me to look for the problem some where else, Two thumbs up.....
