Another option, popular with the young'ns--is FORScan (pronounced
'foreskin' or so I'm told). It's a Windows app suitable for a laptop and
pretty comprehensive. S/W is free/shareware, but a license opens doors.
It's written by Russians, I believe (so far my laptop hasn't tried to
invade my neighbors). I bought it to diagnose a no-start on my Lincoln,
which ended-up being caused by a dead fuel pump, which didn't throw a
code (you'd think it would have thrown 'low fuel pressure,' but I got it
by process of elimination) . It can modify some pretty obscure
parameters. You need a dongle, of course, this one is recommended:

I have a few suggestions to try and fix it, but I'm looking for something to

Any suggestions?
