 This is kind of way ahead of where your at but yes this type of reader and 
data logger is available. I am close to getting a XCAL2 programmer for my 
2003 Lincoln LS with the USB option. This is a pretty well rounded unit and 
I love the fact it will also read codes and data log along with reflashing 
your PCM!! It holds 3 tunes plus the stock tune. Cost about $400

Now if you don't want or need the PCM reflashing ability. This is a pretty 
cool code reader and data logging system too! OOPs! I just saw this will 
reflash some PCM's also! Don't like how they make you e-mail them for the 
price, so I don't have a cost on this. I would guess in the $400-$500 range?

PS: I forgot what year your car is?
