I already mentioned this to Shawn, but I've got a scanner. In Marion Illinois, about 2 hrs from St. Louis, and 30 Minutes from Carbondale.

I will see you Saturday Phil...

You know you can buy those for like $50 off the web...

[edit] Oops, apparently the company that made the $50 code reader got sued out of existence by GM and Ford. They don't want just anybody to be able to work on their own car!

In fact, if you want to build a cable... you can do this for free if somebody has a laptop you can use.

If you have to buy one, here's a very nice one for $144.

If you've got access to a laptop that can run at least windows 3.11, get the one from obd-2.com. It's about the same price, and the realtime logging/monitoring is great.

Every AutoZone should have one and read it free. I work for them, unfortunately, and they do that. So long as it's a generic code, which about 90% are, there would be no problem seeing what it means.
