Remember when you had to guess a misfire?

I was working on a 2002 Civic in my uncle's garage back in 2010, and the old scan tool just gave me a generic P0300 code... I spent hours swapping plugs and coils. Then a buddy brought over his new scanner that could show me the exact cylinder misfire count live. How many of you still keep an old code reader around, or is that tech totally gone now?

Forget the code reader, I miss the old sound. My dad could walk past a running V8 and just hear which cylinder was lazy. He'd put a long screwdriver on each injector and feel the click. Now it's all graphs and numbers, which is cool, but that raw feel for the engine is gone.

Ugh, my ears are basically decorative.
