Does anyone here own a 'Tech2" Scanner?
My 2001 Isuzu Rodeo sport manual relies on the tech2 for all diagnostics.
I am contemplating a purchase and I was wondering how versatile they are I also have an05 Subaru Legacy GT and a 93 Ford Ranger.
I dont want to spend all that cash,$3000 or so for something that is limited to a few makes.
Thanks SF

Your Rodeo does not rely on a Tech 2 for all diagnostics. Most DIY'ers can get by with a simple OBD2 code reader. Spending $3k for a device to use at home is a little out there.

Will it allow you to control the duty and purge solenoid to determine if they function properly?
That is where I am with my diagnostics-it basically says use the tech2 to command the solenoid etc.
I am looking for other methods of testing,this is really becoming a problem,the car is not legal to drive now.My nearest dealership is more than 20 mi away.It may be my only solution-pay Isuzu to fix it.Thanks,Carl

I gave up on it too much,money for limited use.If I was loaded it would be a cool toy.
