hi there

in a word, no! ;D

it's a suck it and see sort of thing. read though all the pages about obd on the site, then go have a play with it. http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/homediag.htm

the main bits to look at are....

you need to scan the following...

RPM
MAF
LTFT
BOTH LAMBDA SENSORS
run these for 5 mins at idle (a/c OFF). every minute, blip the throttle to 2k rpm. end this scan.
then do another scan, switching on and off various temp sensors. also check the tps with the engine off (ignition on). should be from 16% to 92% ish.

try not to drive it on the scan.

oh, check the box with auto re-connect under the GATEWAY, PROTOCOL tabs. that way it should continue to scan even if you need to re-start the engine.
