Best OBDII scanner for the EVO.

Hey guys, i'm wondering what is the best OBDII scanner for the EVO VIII/IX? I had a specific scanner with my previous car and I loved it.

Is there a scanner which is EVO specific? Or any other universal one's that are real good?

What features are you looking for? The question is very vague.

I just bought an Actron Pocketscan from Advantage Auto. It was on sale for $79.88. It works great, easy to use, comes with a code book and CD, and I can erase that pesky P0420 code that pops up every now and then.

Just pick one. I personally picked up an Actron Pocketscan which reads and erases CEL's. It doesn't say what the definition of what the code is, but I printed out a sheet from Evom to look at the info lol.

I want to clear CEL's and view CEL's, I want to be able to view everything including the guessing A/F Ratio.

+1, It's called the C-Reader. It reads and erases codes just like the $79.99 one talked about above. Peace.
