I am not a car repair genius. I don't play one on the interwebs either. I have an RV that was making some slight clicking noise when running. The RV has a Promaster 2500 chassis. I read horror stories on the web about cylinder misfires leading to some serious problems down the road. I bought the Foxwell NT301, plugged it in and boom my fears were alleviated. All systems were clear for takeoff.
The diagnostics are super easy to understand. You basically plug the unit in (no batteries required, it is powered by the OBD interface). The Foxwell NT301 provides any existing errors or pending errors. I recommend watching some videos or reading the manual to be clear on how the device works. You can run a plethora of tests.
I am quite pleased with the device. It seems quite durable as well. I would say this is for the normal person working on their car. If you are an advanced mechanic type you would probably want a more robust, feature rich meter.
Because you read this far, the clicking was caused by a noisy solenoid purge valve (an emissions thing).
This was a good buy.
