picked up an autoxray 6000 and have 2 scan results for an 88 corvette. can anyone interpret the results? not sure what the "acceptable" values are supposed to be. do i have to cross refernce all the listings against the service manual?
...thanks!
 
Why would you invest for something like that when some shops have much more developed scanners that shows not only the specific fault but also (1) shows all other readings / measurements from the car, and (2) perform testing of the engine, for a much lower price. I can get my C95 Corvette fully scanned & tested in Turkey for max US$30 in less than 15 minutes...

thank you for reply,

well, let me start off by saying that i am not in turkey. that now aside, i had a spectacular deal when obtaining the unit so, i grabbed it. next, while it is true that most shops nowadays can scan your vehicle for nothing or next to nothing, what if you car dies in the driveway or on the side of the road? you'll have to get a tow to get it to a shop for that very same scan and hope that the shop is open. also, most shops won't do a test while the car is in motion, only stationary. while your answer was certainly welcome, at no point did it address the question i had asked. however, thank you for the response!..really.
 
Hey I did not mean to be a smart**s. What do you measure with the scanner? Does it display only the error codes or some values, or both??? I know there are tables for interpretation of the error codes and I have some of them.

the acceptable range of each sensor was in the manual of my autoxray 240. I'll look for it tonight
