Can I borrow an ODB scanner for 10 mins?
Hi there, was wondering if anyone near or in UC Davis and has an OBD scanner I could borrow for about 10mins. I want to find out the CEL code my 01 2.5RS is throwing off. I think its a misfire because the car is having a rough idle when started. It was so lame.... I installed a new radiator and exchanged bumpers and I get a CEL 
Thanks in advance, I don't know where else to look for an OBD scanner.....

It's probably just your head gasket, don't worry about it

its not my headgasket, turn out it was just the thermostat and radiator that needs replaced woot!I'm going to try and call both autozone and kragen. I know the autozone "back home" will let me do it if I deposit $140. Once i finished they give back my money.
