    Diagnostic sofrtware

    Has anyone purchased and used the diagnostic software sold on ebay and Amazon for 58.99? If so does it work as advertised, can you identify a bad injector and replace it with this program, read fault codes engine hours, etc
    Thanks

    I got the 80 dollar version and its missing the program or file that has the codes written on it and the program will not operate without it. Did get sent a link from the seller but I cant figure out how to install onto the original program.
    Im not even close to computer literate.

    No, I didn’t dare risk it. Note they are sourced from Countries that don’t recognize any US copyright laws, so they are essentially bootleg. Not saying they won’t work ... but my ‘98 engine is running, so I just avoided it.

    I bought an original older hard disk version off eBay, but had to make my own cable. Bought the OMC Deutsch(sp?)?connector for motor side, then since using an old laptop with the serial port, I scavenged an old USB cable and wired 4 wires to a spare 99-cent RS232 connector, then added 1 jumper and it works flawlessly. There are details on the process over on the Continuous Wave.
