I was browsing around Amazon, and I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-OBD2-Mul ... sbs_auto_2
It seems to be a generic OBD-II to USB interface, along with some included free software that will give you a good look at basic diagnostic info in your car's omputer. It's OBD-II, so it should work on almost any '96-up vehicle. I guess once you have this piece of hardware, there's a variety of software, both free and paid, that will provide all sorts of info. HPTuners would probably be considered a high-end piece of this software.
There's even one that communicates wirelessly over Bluetooth: http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-Bluetoot ... 419&sr=1-2
Here's something I found suggested in one of the amazon reviews that looks like it might be decent: http://www.palmerperformance.com/produc ... /index.php
Anyway, it's all pretty universal stuff that should work on a wide variety of vehicles and looked pretty inexpensive.
