Does anyone have an OBDII scan tool that I can use to view misfires in real time. I have no problem with driving to you and testing in the driveway/street. If you have one, let me know. Thanks!

 

Jeff I do not have a scan tool, but the droid phone does read codes on the torque app, and will clear them if that is any help. I have a phone and the wireless adaptor if you want to try

 

Thanks Jim. I have the bluetooth adapter and torque app too. Sadly I need something more advanced to trouble shoot these issues. Thanks though.

 

did you try advance auto or one of the stores they normally have a scan tool?

 

I'll check when I head there tomorrow morning.

 

Good luck, I am home Thursday morning if you need a garage to work on the car I will be here all day.

 

Look up ScanXL it is what I have.

 

Reached out to that vendor, they said it wouldn't do live misfire monitoring. Emailed another vendor about Bavarian Technic...

Just trying to verify that my car's misfiring only at idle and coming off the throttle and not at any point when under load.

 

bavtechnic's is nearly a complete waste of money for an r50 or r53 (unless you have a One D) - just a glorified code reader w/ ABS code support.

Absolutely no live data from any subsystem, and no retunability of any systems. There are a few control system diagnosis tools available (where you can activate specific pieces like fans, locks, etc, to bypass the physical interfaces), but overall for engine work - a waste of $$$.

..david, who just wasted his $$$
