I use my laptop and USB interface box I built from a kit. There are many shareware to go with it. > hi there,i have a 2001 impreza 2.5 RS which is giving me intermittant > difficulty when starting.

But unless your check engine light is lit, it's unlikely that the reader will be of any help to you, especially if the car runs normally once you do get it started. Problems like a weak fuel pump or a faulty pressure regulator just don't set codes in the computer. You need to determine the exact conditions when the car is difficult to start, like sitting overnight (X hours or more) or sitting off for just a few minutes after running into the bank, or trying to restart the car when it's only been running for a minute or so after sitting overnight. >> hi there,i have a 2001 impreza 2.5 RS which is giving me intermittant >> difficulty when starting.

Hi, And Japanese cars have ISO OBD II connector not like Ford or GM specific connectors. >>> hi there,i have a 2001 impreza 2.5 RS which is giving me intermittant >>> difficulty when starting.

All cars from 1996 model years and on (and some 1995 models like Subaru) use the same standard OBD-II connector. It's the older models that used proprietary connectors, and some were OBD-I like GM. What Tony meant is that even if the connector is the same, the pins used vary according to the protocol used. If getting a tool that is not multi-protocol, make sure you buy the right one. Most tools nowadays are multi-protocol though. >>>> hi there,i have a 2001 impreza 2.5 RS which is giving me intermittant >>>> difficulty when starting.
