Depends on your needs.
I'am satisfied with my AutoXRay:
www.autoxray.com
But i think the best solution to diagnose your car is
making your own ALDL-cable and connect it to a Laptop.

Could be the O2, or need new injectors. The scannig software would tell you that. I would guess that unless you intend to use it severals times it might be better to let someone else do it. $300+ for scanning software is hard to justify for one shot.

yes, i know how to pull codes. i'm just looking for a good scanner. i know the gm tech 1, you have to have a "E" pin adapter for 86-88 305/350 tpi. is it like that with the aftermarket scanners? as i have a 86 305tpi. thanks for your replies. tom
