Well looks I need to spring about $15 and buy one of those chinee
readers then download the app and give it a try.
What I probably need at this point is the ability to read manifold
pressure (or wherever the baro sensor is) to see if there is an air leak
somewhere and fuel pressure to see if my fuel pump is giving up. I am
going to put on a new fuel filter, which I bought the other day but was
too lazy to put on, and see if that cures the fuel problem. If not a
$215 pump, drain about 25gal of gas, and drop the tank to get at the pump.
The code it threw was lean fuel condition, which the webertubez says is
most likely the air flow sensor or a fuel problem, but maybe an intake
gasket leak. I'm guessing fuel delivery, 14 years and 200k miles is
probably too much to expect on the pump.

Torque Pro code lists are all free (at least, all the ones I have
seen). There are some non-free plugins but those aren't for core
reading functionality - they are things like recording video and
whatnot. I have never felt a need to purchase anything beyond the
core Torque package.
There is a Ford Truck plugin that I am using with the van - I assume
the Chevy has something similar. Torque is smart enough to not
display codes that don't work, unless you tell it to do so. Also, you
can add any code/PID/etc. that you like - it is pretty easy, I added a
few for the Escape Hybrid when I had it.

the Torque pro version cover any vehicle with all the data

DashCommand is $10 but not entirely sure. I sent them an email to
find out.
I have had good luck contacting the developer of Torque, he helped me
with the Escape. However the forum is probably a better place to
start. You could probably also check the forum for compatibility with
any particular Bluetooth reader.
