I was wondering if there is a preferred device for OBDII error code checking and engine parameter monitoring?

I have come accross the following:

I wanted to be able to monitor Air / Fuel ratio on my '05 to determine if it runs waay rich, etc.

I didn't want to spend money on a reflash if my ecu is already doing a good job.

Anyway would be nice to have this for future projects.

I have a laptop I can use for viewing the output. I don't really want an LED display or anything.

I use the elm scan with the digimoto software; it works great for me. Heres the link digimoto

Thank you!

That's exactly what I want.

Can you tell me any more about it? I am going to read over the site.. just wanted your take on things if you have time.

Best Regards,

What interface do I desire for my 05 Z?

It's not listed..



And I notice o2 sensor readings in voltage. Does it also calculate A/F Ratio??

Anyone used a Snap-On Solus on a Z? I have access to one and would love to make use of it, would it let me reset the ECU?

ok.. fair enough.. what about A/F ratio display? as ratio or voltage...

if you have this.. tell me about it!

It doesn't show A/F ratio but it shore the 02 sensor voltages

Snap-on scanner shows my a/f ratio at 96% I don't know where the Z should be.

 

[illz33]

bah......... I want it in a/f RATIO

the search continues...

to see your air/fuel ratio you need a wideband o2 sensor. i use a plx m-300 on my 240sx it has a good price and great display. for a little more money you can wireless and datalogging widebands

you can also go to a dyno, they use them in your exhuast pipe

factory o2 sensors are narrowband which arent very accurate at all. mainly jsut switch the ecu from open and closed loop maps (closed being idle and cruise, open being wot)

haha.. i realize that.. but don't the '05 Z's have a wideband?
wasn't that a change for the model year?

That's what i'm after, something that will read it from the oem wideband sensor.

I just got a Blitz R-VIT from Gruppe-s . It looks to be an awesome tool. I'm not sure how it will work with the wideband setup on the '05.


thanks!

Search is my friend... :biggrin:

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I've been reading up on this lately and wanted more personal experienced opinions.
