If you have a laptop, pick up the ODB-2 cable and software at http://obd-2.com/ I have it and it works well on my 1995 Maxima SE, and it is cheaper too $122.

Yea, I saw this linked off techtv's page a month or two back...maybe if taxes give me a little more than I expect, it'll be grounds to purchase. Looks good for people who have a PC or a laptop.

wow this is awesome! thanks for the info. Can you elaborate lil more on what kind of things this can do?

I never used an OBD2 device and I dontknow much about it. But if there are adjustable parameters in the ECU (like engine timing), can this software adjust it?

You can only view the data. You can not change anything. (other than reseting the CEL/SES light)

Some of the items you can moniter are:
-engine coolant temp
-throttle position
-Fuel trim (short term & long term per bank. (there are 2 banks))
-calculated engine load
-mass air flow in pounds per minute
-vechile speed
-engine RPM
-O2 sensor voltage (all three)
-and a few more that I can not remember....

Take Care.
