Default Scan tool advice

My car has been giving we quite a time. Can you reccomend a particular scan tool or software that I can buy for my laptop? How much should I expect to spend?

Thanks everyone.

My car is a 1990 C4, 6 Speed.

You want to get Data Master, and youll need a cable to connect the ALDL plug to your RS-232 comm port on your laptop.

90-91 Y-Body 5.7L PFI (L98) DM35x8D - Complete Installation is the one you want to download. This link should get it for ya: http://www.ttspowersystems.com/softw...D/setup-8D.exe

And go here for the cable you see below: http://www.obd1.com/sc/details.asp?item=aldlobd1

Yes mate, same program but the EE version, and the cable is the 16 pin version.

Datamaster for 94 and 95: http://www.ttspowersystems.com/softw...E/setup-EE.exe
