Its a computer program for buick grand nationals that lets you plug a laptop into the diagnostic port of the car while you're driving and monitor everything the computer reads. I was just wondering, is there anything simliar to that for our cars? Something that can be plugged into the EEC's diagnostic port to monitor everything?

Yes there is, I was going to do it a while ago but never did it. Its still in my future plans. You can get a serial plug for the port on the car. Then it plugs into a laptop and you can see everything about your car. Even record drives to check things out. I dont remember what the website is anymore but if you search for OBD-II scanners you should find some.
