Prob overkill for what you're looking for but I've been eyeing this down, mainly I want to read the codes and have livedatalogging of all the sensors on any car....You need a labtop for it tho too....I got a live datalogging system (piggyback) on my stang and it's nice when you can see the commanded fuel trims, voltages, and see if everything's in range instead of just getting a "ect sensor out of range" I can see exactly what it's doing.

I have one of the eBay OBDII scanners that covers almost all cars in the US. I think paid something like $80 shipped or so. It reads, deletes codes, and has a basic tables. Its worked wonders in the 6 months or so i have owned.

However, i dont know how in depth you want your tables and how accurate. I just needed mine to be able to delete and read codes...
