Your autoparts guy is a tool... and not a very good one at that.

I have a cheapie $100 harbor freight code reader and it not only reads the basic emissions codes (with or without CEL) it even reads the porsche specific codes after you tell it what kind of car it's reading. I'm sure the durametric is better (haven't gotten one yet) but even the junkie one I have is a lot better than nothing.

On a side note, it will even track live data - coolant temp, spark advance and a dozen or so other parameters in 'real time'
