Autotap OBDII tool

I was considering the Auto Tap till it was descovered that it only checks balance rate on 4 cylinders ....

I called B&B Electronics today (the manufacturer of Autotap) and talked to them about this. They said that Autotap scans the computer and should report on any parameter that the computer is tracking. They said that what is on their web site (what I believe Mackin is quoting) is kinda a "random collection of things" to give the customer an idea of the kind of things reported.


So, Ragtop ...the next time you have Autotap out (or anyone else out there), could you confirm this.


BTW, they did say that they have a 30 day return policy, so if I didn't like it for any reason, they would take it back no questions asked.

Ragtop,


Cool! Thanks so much.

Ragtop,


I have the Autotap also. Mine dosen't work anymore, recently discovered my cig lighter dosen't work either. IIRC that is a common fuse for the diagnostic port. If so I'll fix it this weekend and try it. I don't think it will tell you balance rates though unless you can do the math from pulse widths Don't have a clue why/if the cig lighter fuse is blown I've never used it.
