OBD Computers
Happy Holidays! I considering getting some automotive-related presents for two teenage nephews who are planning careers in atomotive technology. They have already good sets of hand tools and gauges. I was thinking about an OBD computer. Here is a list of our extended family cars: 1988 Legend, 1992 Accord, 1995 Eagle Vision, 1997 Ford F-150, 1999 Chevy Suburban, 2000 CR-V, 2001 Pathfinder. Which computers, the OBD-1 or OBD-2 would work with these vehicles. One nephew has a laptop, so a computer-based unit might make sense. As always, thanks in advance, Jimbo JIMBO |
