Anyone have any suggestions on diagnostic scanners to buy? Not looking for anything expensive, just to get the job done. Id like to spend around 100 or less if possible but if thats too cheap then id be willing to spend more.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheap. Scans and clears engine codes, and can give you a bunch of different gauges.

You can buy the Torque app for your android or iphone for $5 plus a bluetooth bug for $25, works fine for me

Pretty sure there's a similar iPhone App that works with the Bluetooth device.
