It's just a device that plugs into the cars diagnostic port and lets you see what the sensors are telling the computer. Most of them are just a interface with a cable that you plug into a palm pilot. This will let you monitor/record the motor as you drive so that you watch for stuff like the timing, throttle, air flow, etc.. It is really one of the first things you should buy when you start modifing ng your car. Do a search you will find almost all you need to know
