Any one know much about the OBD2 scanners?
I have one that works fine on my 02 F150 but it did not appear to
work on my mother's 08 Honda Accord although the connector appeared
to be the same.

You did not deposit the appropriate number of ¥ in the appropriate place.

Maybe. Just about drove my mother nuts though. The car was new in 08 and
since she only drives it a bit in the summer, had very low mileage when
the check engine light came on in the spring of 2010.
She took it to the dealer who looked it over and charged her a couple of
hundred bucks and told her the gas was stale since it sat all winter and
she should run premium through it for a few tanks so it would clear out.
She did that for a month or more with not improvement. The light stayed
on and it did not run well. Kept stalling which made her a bit nervous
about pulling into traffic etc.
Took it back to the dealer who finally determined a sensor had gone bad
and fixed it under warranty. Never refunded the money she paid for the
first visit when they told her it was her fault for letting it sit idle
all winter.
We do not seem to have the same issues with fuel that you folks down
south have. I don't know if that means the fuel is different or if it
just means it does not deteriorate so quick in really cold weather. Her
car sits in the garage out at the lake from mid October to mid May
without moving. Same sort of thing with things like lawn mowers and boat
engines etc. They do not get used all winter but generally fire up and
run fine in the spring.
