Hit up Snaggletooth. He said he had time to do installs and stuff. He may have a OBD reader.

I know Autozone and Pepboys do free OBD2 scans.
Just come back with a code!

They don't do that anymore. Something about a state law peing passed or something like that in which they are not qualified to help diagnose the car.

Sorry to hijack the thread OP
