If I recall, if you have a no start condition, you will get a crank speed
sensor code (no kidding!) but all other codes should read if stored or
sensed.
Not like it's handy at the moment for Mark, but Caig will send out free
samples if you ask politely (such as you are the lead designer of a
potential engineering project and you want to evaluate their products to
test feasibility.....). A sample tube has enough of the product to last
you quite awhile, try www.caig.com (BTDT).
