I was told by one person they could only get the current time the engine was running, (as in right now) and by another that the total time is on the computer.
Anyone?

You can get both, just did this last week with Rinda ScanMate. First it shows total run time, and then when it goes into "scanner" mode, it will tell you how long it has been running, currently, since scanner was attached, along with a bunch of other "current" information.

Yes, it also breaks it down into rpm intervals. You can also see the amount of time in knock retard. This can all be erased if you have the right software, so you can't always trust the hours.

Dustin,
I once borrowed a scan tool from a friend that did show the entire break down of hours vs. rpm. I believe it was made by OTC. I not positive about the name, but I'm pretty sure. It had interchangeable cartridges that would allow it to work with all of the MEFI's and the 555, etc. It was a really nice piece. The only problem was it is a little big. It is probably 5 or 6 times the size of the Rinda.

My Rinda tool shows total hours, but not individual times at any rpms.
