Kragen and AUtoZone both rent out code reads I believe (I know Autozone does). You pay the price of the unit and then go into the parking lot, pull the code, go inside and return the reader.

Did you use chevron gas with techron? If you did, then you probably filled your fuel pump with techronites =X. Teflon, a material substance, can clog your pump and make your car bog and may even cause it not not to start.

wow...easy there 808....***** is just sayin (and i must agree) that chevron has in our PERSONAL EXPERIENCE to be bad for our cars. there will never be actual tests and results for this, so whatever. i use Shell and that is it. chevron is for the dogs and hondas.
btw: there is no spell check for quick reply, which is how **** posts. who cares anyway? u a perfectionist? quit complainin, you tellin me u NEVER mispell ****? *** it....

tom there's no hard feelings here it's chris he can rag on my spelling i don't care. but as of testing i have done my own and my results were not the best for chevron. and you can also ask dale and other guys on here who use to swear by chevron. now they will tell you there car get's better mileage and better results.

76:340-355per tank
tesoro:330-335
chevron:250(yeh i know i was pissed)

this is all with the same type of driving.
also my car had a harder time starting up with chevron then any of the others i tested it with. but for a 100miles different in a tank of gas thats alot and not happy on my wallet.
