You misunderstood me. The Autotap tool DOES read all the engine parameters
and will give you real numbers like coolant temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit, degrees advance, engine load, mass airflow... no complaints at
all on this. If there is a stored code, it will display that and interpret
it.
It's normally $130 but is currently on sale for $50.
