This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, Following on from my 'Intermittent Starting Issue' thread, I am looking for an OBD reader for my Jan 95 - 993. It has the 16 female socket OBD. Which is the best scanner to buy for my car? Thank you.

POST 2Original post

I don't think there is anything other than the original 1990s Dealer box of tricks.... which are very expensive. IMO take the car to an Indy that has such a reader, and ask them to check for you.

Thank you I had wondered if an OBD1 to OBD2 adapter cable might be the way to go.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see. That makes sense - thank you.

You can buy the plugs and cables from Tore Bergville and I am sure there is free software you can download. I have the plugs and cables but my car was written off before I needed to use it.

I have the plugs and cables but my car was written off before I needed to use it. Everyday is a schoolday. Do you mean this one? https://www.bergvillfx.com/products/t-obd-tool I'm not sure how much this can tell you about all of the sensors? vs the much more expensive readers that Tore also sells.
