    otc 2000

    Hey guys, quicks question. The matco truck guy has a old otc 2000 scanner. I can get it at a decent price, and want to know if I can use it to monitor knock on a TD? And If it will, what cartrige do I need?

    thanks

    Yes you can, the scanner has a dataline display that lets you choose which live data points you want to look at (8 data points total can be displayed at one time). You can set it up to show the Knock Retard (in degrees) for each cylinder. That is what I did for a year or so until I started data logging.

    I use my OTC 2k to watch the knock as well. Works great with a wideband and a tuneable ECU.
