I agree they still work great love my Tech 1A UNIT

Currently have 4. GM Tech I, Autoxray 7000, Launch (Chinese) and ScanMaster. But so far the learning curve on each one is steep for this old fart. So guess I will have to vote for the AutoXray.

I only wish the Xray showed the oil temp. For injector info, you can look at the short and long term fuel trims to get an idea. I thought it had the pulse width displayed though, but can't really recall.

I agree. My AXray rides in the storage compartment behind the passenger's seat; ready at a moment's notice.

I bought it to troubleshoot my 95 LT1 Vette, and it had injector dwell time as well as the trims. What was happening (reason for buying the scanner in the first place) was an O2 sensor was intermittently shorting to ground. The Xray has an "event" button on it you can push when "IT" is happening. The results were instantaneous, and the scanner picked it up nicely.

However, when I bought the Z, I had to get the software retro'ed and I lost the ability to see dwell time directly. Tho the Z has (knocking on wood) not required the Xray's help so much, I would rather it have the dwell time as well.

Can never have enough test equipment. It was Marc's wideband setup that put a finger on some NOS injectors that were going south.

I have a PC based Diacom setup that helped me find the same kind of intermittent issue with an O2 sensor. In my case it was not a short to ground but some contamination on the sensor that would partially cover the openings such that readings would go south for a time the be fine for a time.

Any one have an extra cable? This will do diagnostics ext? Thanks

[lakemeadzmonster]

I'm looking to buy something? I was interested in getting into lower cost like the PC idea with the cables might serve my basic tuning and troubleshooting but is it comparable to GM Tech One functions?? Thanks

FINALLY!!!

I have a working ADX for TunerPro.. Connects and does not have issues once connected

I still have some misc status flags to add, but most everything is there and working and it tells the ABS and CCM to be quiet too

Jeff,
I have TunerPro RT, but haven't dug into the software yet (started with EFI first) . Did the 8e_ads.adx and 83.xdf files have issues? They're the ones I thought I was supposed to use for the RT. Will your file supercede the 8e (believe I downloaded it from the internet somewhere). I assume the old file wasn't silencing the chatter.

I was REALLY hoping to get some software @ BG - something I could see hands-on, and when I saw the Mega-Squirt(?) guys in the parking lot on Thursday, I went to diggin'...



But they had only ECM's to unload. Can't go there with Marc's module - that was a perfect add-in.

Vilant ,

I assume that by 83.xdf you mean 8E. Be aware that each model year, has an A version of the code. So 90 can be and most likely is $8EA. That can cause issues. Same for all other LT-5 MY (sorry Brett).
TPRT stands for Tunerpro RealTime. Named that way because it is used w real time emulation like Ostrich. TunerCat same thing.
