Off topic- Oh and tauni.. by your books used off amazon. You can get them half price or lower. Thats how I do it. Then when your done, sell them back on there and you get over half you money back.
Yes, but don't forget that when the car runs shitty, engine light is off. When it runs good, engine light is on.

When was the last time you did a tune up? Check the ignitor, rotor and cap..etc..
Exactly and then you have to decifer what the damn flashes mean, and pray to god you counted all of them. With my luck I would have missed one.

I just bought the car a few months ago. I don't know exactly what all Steve did with it before he gave it to me.
