data loger as code reader

[overboosted1g]

i have a 1992 eagle talon and i was wondering if i could use a cheap ebay data loger cable and some free software to check and see if im getting a crank signal and to scan for other codes?

I'm sure that pretty much any datalogger will do what you are wanting. Just do some research on a particular model before you buy. I used to have one of these and it read codes and well as numerous other things.

I bought a Ebay data logger and its actually pretty nice and yes it had a code reader, it found a code 21 which is coolant temp sensor failed.

So I could check for injector pulses and crank signals with the engine off and the key on?
