So I sold the DSM. First thing I'm doing is buying a scanner, but I have a couple questions.
What the Hell kind of PDA does the new LS1M come with? I know it used to be a palm 3xe or whatever it's called, but the new one looks like a grey market knock off. Anyone ever have any problems with it? Also, I know a lot of the features are 3800 specific but will it work for basic scanning duties (IE: CEL) in other cars provided they aren't CAN BUS or is it GM specific? I know I can get software to scan other vehicles, but I don't know if the interface cable is compatible with other makes/ models.
Also: once I start scanning what should I be looking for. Obviously zero knock but what should the other parameters read. Like o2 voltage, fuel trims, temperatures, etc. I need an idea of approximately what a healthy engine/ sensors should look like so I know what needs to be changed.
Thank's in advance.
