Before I found this site & learned of the various scan tools being used, I bought an OTC4000E through the GSCA. From what I understand it is just an updated version to the one you have. I've got some better info lying around if you need to know more. There are of course better tools available as you know, but the OTC will help you alot. You can set your IAC & TPS, as well as monitor the different readings on the car. If there's anything I can help you with just let me know bud.
Plug that thing in & start learning with it.

another question
i have another question about my otc 2000.......after reading the instructions, i dont see anything about it being able to record any info...well it looks like theres an optional anticipator/communicator that is suppost to hook up to the otc and then it will be able to record 30 seconds of info......im just wondering if i should try and find one of these......seems to me that in order to tune my car properly i will need to do full quarter mile runs and then review the data........if anyone has any input on this please let me know....thanks

I have an otc 2000 that I bought from the traveling snap-on tool man several years ago and it has the ability to record. It is called A Cartridge/Anticpator. Do you have the1990 3-in-1 Domestic cartridge?
If you do I belive your in luck.I have the 1990 version and it came with the 3-in 1 instruction manual, on pages g-136 thru g-153 it gives complete instructions on setup and and usage.
If I can be of any further assistance you can E-mail me at
