FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--May 2, 20046, 2004--Whether dad's a full-blown grease monkey, occasional tinkerer or "wanna be" weekend mechanic, we have an automotive gift idea that's sure to please. Equus Products, Inc., offers these suggestions for Father's Day and everyday:

-- INNOVA(R) 3100 OBD II Code Reader. Find out why the "CHECK ENGINE" light illuminated on 1996 & newer cars, trucks and SUVs with this hand-held OBD2 code reader. Dad doesn't have to be a mechanic or computer guru to use this tool. It's the most user-friendly OBD2 code reader on the market today, with 100,000 satisfied customers. Just plug it into the vehicle's universal connector (usually found under the dashboard), push a button and get all necessary information on one large screen in about 10 seconds. If any trouble codes appear, access the included manual to define the problem. It's great to use before going to the mechanic, taking a road trip, buying a used car or attempting repairs yourself. It can even save you a costly and embarrassing trip to the repair shop for a minor problem such as a loose gas cap. Once repairs are made, it lets you turn off the "CHECK ENGINE" light. The INNOVA(R) 3100 OBD II Code Reader is retail priced from $100 to $160. For information, visit www.CodeReader.com.
