Not directly rotary aviation related, but this group is a great resources
for this kind of question...
I've got a check engine light that has been coming on and off and it is time

and something more substatntial including the possibility of some kind
of
OBD2/USB based software system for my laptop.
Any specific recommendations? Someday I might be wanting to use this to tune
my turbo-compound renesis powered 4 seat homebuilt...
