I use the scanner from AutoXray. I think it was about $150.00. Works great and can clear an O2 heater code in about 30 seconds. WWW.Autoxray.com

The Gen 1s were all(*) pre-OBDII. '96 and later vehicles are OBDII compliant.
(*) - Once again, the '96RT/10 maintains its lock on red-headed stepchild status. It sports a Gen1 motor and interior, with Gen2 (JTEC) engine management and suspension.

I have the Equus Model 3100. Works well for basically reading the error codes and resetting them. I bought it to reset the O2 light that I kept getting which was eventually traced to a broken ground wire. $129 sounds like a good price, I paid $150 for mine at the local auto store.
If I had a laptop, I probably would have opted for one of the full featured units that allows you to also monitor all the actual data and not just the error codes. Perhaps check out Roe Racings unit.

I also have the EQUUS unit. I think it was $129 delivered last winter. Works well for the purpose I bought it for.

I did a search and it seems to be a widely debated topic, with no definitive answer...So for everyone's sake, which OBDII code scanner works best for our cars...GenI or GenII...?

Ordered a Equus Model 3100 about 2 hours ago.
It is a nice easy to use unit that I have used before.
At $125.39 (Summit Racing) it is the best price I have seen.

Thanks for the info! Went with the Equus Model 3100, and as BOOSTED SNAKE did, I called Summit Racing ($125.39, what a price, CHECKER wanted $295 locally)...Summit told me the unit was back ordered and they would be available around the first of August, however, they were able to drop ship it (overnight) from the manufacturer for a few extra bucks! I will use it for the rest of the summer. The list of winter mods is long and distinguished, so come spring I will pick up some Ease Diagnostic gear to use on the dyno, and ebay the EQU-3100...thanks again!
