Thanks JFP. I think I was just so excited to get it I want to hook it up. I drove the car for about 30 minutes, back roads to highway. Had it over 100 MPH at one point to blow it out. I was just playing around with it. As with anything diagnostic you need to start with some baseline. I read a post you had commented on and you said there was someone you knew who had similiar numbers 2.92 and 5.91 I think and that has been unchanged since new and now had 59K I think. So, for me, its a starting value and I'll monitor it from there. What was most satisfying for me was the straight lines I saw through out my 30 minute drive.

One question I have is how can I learn what all these other options/parameters mean? I'm an IT guy by trade and not a mechanic although I am very mechanically inclined and I love to learn. Is there a book, video, training that I can buy to explain the many others things listed in this tool?

TIA.
