I will give a stab at this,  I have been looking for the same thing
myself although for a different application, None of these hook to the
ALDL so you have to tap into each sensor for its signal.  I found the
following,  It is a monitoring/data logging device with software that
hooks to the printer port of any PC.  In a sense all it is is an analog
signal  monitoring system.  The problem is that there is 2 models the
first is a single channel and it is good from 0 to +5 volts input which
would work for TPS, MAP and O2 and with a converter RPM but its only a
single channel the other is 11 or 22 channel but its only good from 0 to
+2.5 volts input..
