I want to buy one of those code scanners. Anyone have any experience with them, recommendations,

Don't know if you can do it on yours, but my old Chevys would let you
jump the prongs on the connector under the dash (they acutally made a
tool for it that went on your keyring) and you would see the code
flashed on the check engine light.
That was the original GM system not the OBDII
I know I need a scanner for my Ford truck and my Honda. There is no
jumper trick that I can find documented anywhere.
I have not really played with the bluetooh dongle much. The last time
I had a light, I went to Autozone for a free scan.
Just did a quick Google.. I am guessing they killed this little mistake
in about 95 for all practical purposes.
