Is this hardware question, or software, or both? (my guess both)
EML chips from Canada (the inventor and chip maker ) has many kinds of chips, and is used in many products (makes software super simple)
The most common forms are in a DONGLE.
USB
WIFI (I have this and love the range it has)
BLuetooth.(BT)
there are endless (100s) of software packages that work these great dongles.
The XL is what I think you need.
I like these because of no ELM pirating.

if you ever used a dial up modem long ago, the ELM mimics this idea, command sets and smarts. a genius idea if ever.
that means any device can run the dongle with very little software (for sure even lots for free)
the newest tools 2008 and newer support all 5 pin protocols and just work ! on all USA cars made. 1996+ (there is 10 car list of exceptions ,year 1 , and is ECUs error not tools)

Do you have any recommendations for android software for reading ECM data from an elm device?
Software. I have the Bluetooth ELM
I've used torque app for android successfully.
Curious with your experience of you knew of better software.
I thought data logging may help find the fuel pump problem
However without the ECM seeing an error, and the problem being at key on I'm not optimistic this will help me diagnose.
