I have a question pertaining to the ford EEC-IV.  Does it support real 
time data output of sensor readings in any fashion?  I don't want to use 
a break-out box, and I would suspect that this sort of function would be 
desireable but I have not had any luck in getting a definitive yes or no 
as to the EEC-IV's true capablilies.
