    well its just for general use.. But the ones that were scanned for oxygen sensor. and i got 1 cylinder that keeps misfiring. due eaither
    a- coil pack overheating
    b- the oxygen sensor
    c- running to rich

    my first step is changing the oxygen sensor
    second step is putting it on a dyno to see whats going on..

    hey marko, ur's is obd2 compliant so will work fine, if you wanted something good try going for the op-com module.

    I have this one:

    Works pretty good and can monitor several parameters at once.

    This is a screenshot from when I was monitoring my O2 sensors:
