All those scanner will do is pull codes. They don't tell you what is worng with the vehicle.

IE. P0300- Random misfire. Meaning a misfire in the engine. Could be spark plugs, wires, coil pak, module, signal wire. CMT sensor bad. Fuel injector bad, FPR not holding pressure, or low gas. or

P0440 - EVAP System Leaks; Where is the leak, a pin sized hole in the relief lines, canister bad, or a solenoid not opening? or better yet.

P0101 - MAF Sensor circuit preformance. Did you know that if you got water inside the connector that the the same code will also trip. So AutoZone will definitely want to sell you a MAF sensor. OR better yet, maybe the the air filter is dirty as SH*T and it will trip that same code.
