Hi i'm a new member of this forum and i found it searching for the scan software for OBDII cars.
I've seen somewhere in this forum someone reading A/F from this software and tuning according to it.
My Q is wether it can read wideband sensors outputs or only narrow ones which come stock with the car.

 

this car is equipped with a wide band from the factory and the good scan tools can read it - and all the other feed back the PCM gets.

 

Didn't know that.
I own a civic and just wanted to know about it!!
Thanks!!

 

this scan tool from Palmer Performance called PCMSCAN http://www.palmerperformance.com/pcmscan.php

is not RX-8 specific but is a very good tool usable on most if not all CAN equipped cars and has support for using and logging data from the Innovative LM1 wideband rigth along with the rest of the info from the PCM. Its a nice tool and i've talked with Brian at Palmer Performance and they are very helpful folks. It has a few other features that i find very appealing but havent given it a try yet on the RX-8.

Combined with the Mongoose interface from Drew Tech http://www.drewtech.com/products/mongoose.html and your laptop you have quite the powerful tool.
