Just wondering what interface units people are using to pull codes from their AU's.. i have a spark issue i want to narrow down on the au2 and i'm hoping one of these might help.
Also please specify if it's just a code reader, or an interface which requires a laptop plugged in and appropriate software cheers all

Prof, take it to Ford and ask them to see if there are any codes on it? Surely it would not cost a lot for a code read, but then again I may stand corrected. Ford uses a NGS, which they did on mine (pre Quarterhorse) when I had a fuel pump problem and told me I may have a problem with my coils! Point being, even if you do see a code, it may not necessarliy point to the problem.
On the OBDII thing, AUs run a bastardised version of OBDII, so as Ride found, a normal OBDII reader may not work. Stu
