Default What code reader for 2000 Neon

Does anyone know which one is good and cheap? My Neon is running on 3 cylinders (feels like), and I need a cheap way to diagnos the problem.

Thanks in advance!

I was told that is how to check on a '99 and older. Are you sure that will show the codes? I will check after work; I hope it works!

Thanks!

It turns out that you are right; I played around with the wiring harness and the car is running fine now. I have to look into the cause, but it is either a corroded connector or a cut in the wire and it is grounding out.

The code it was throwing was P 0202 and P 0302 and another, but I forgot what it was. It said that it was detecting a miss in cylinder #2 and the #2 injector had and open ground. The other one was that the battery was disconnected within the last 50 starts.

Thanks again for all of your help!!!
