Does anyone have this product? Im wondering if it will help me diagnose my electrical issues. Like sensors and such. Claims to show realtime sensor info and such. For $50 im not sure it will do all that? If thats the case what is different between this and the super expensive engine computers?

For much cheaper, you can get Torque for android. You'd order a blue tooth adapter for your car, similar to the one in that items photo. I paid about $18 for the adapter on amazon, and the torque app costs $5. It shows real time data on all available sensors, and has really helped me out with my car a lot. I can't say anything about the item you linked, but it sounds like torque does everything you'd need it to for half the price. :)

I don't believe torque is on pc, just on android phones and tablets as far as I know.

Torque is not on Windows but there is a way to run android apps through Chrome on your PC, but I'm not sure how well it will interface with your computer's bluetooth connection, if it has one. I use Torque Pro with this adapter:
