Default Riding in Namibia, Africa

Hi all. I am a proud owner of a 2000 chevy blazer Lt and loving it. I only have one problem, parts.... The car behaves very good on our harshe conditions. At this moment I buy parts from autopartswharehouse and they ship it in. I bought my blazer for $7000. I fixed a few problems and stil have a few to fix but am struggeling a bit. All the answers to my problems I found on the forum, thanx. I do not seem to have out of the ordenary problems. I am looking for software for my laptop to do fault finding. The engine light keeps coming on. As well as for the connectoin cable. Let me first find this then I'll chat obout my other questoins. Thanx for all your help so far.

Regards
Jadam

you could try an (ELM327 OBD2 OBDII V1.4 Bluetooth Diagnostic Interface) bluetooth device that plugs into the obdii port.

i use that with the torque app on my droid phone...works great.
the software can read and clear codes as well as tell you alot about what is going on with your engine in realtime.
