Just kind of throwing something out there. Although I never do speeds in excess of the other traffic on the road (too many speed traps here) I've gotten my car...
I've had my 97' OBS up to an indicated 107mph one time. Dunno how much speedo error there is at those speeds though. Typically a lot of cars get a bit...
Cheapest thing to do is take it to Autozone and have them tell you what it's complaining about. Or you could buy a code reader and check it yourself. Or you...
1997 Impreza Outback Sport with auto. Tossing a small Eaton twin-screw on this thing, just making sure I have the big pieces before I start. How does the stock...
I think you're going to be better off checking someplace like NASIOC. Last I knew, no one around here had attempted such a thing yet... I'm certainly curious...
Even worse, you can know what the code is, and they'll still charge you $40. Happened to me. Gotta get myself a code reader. ... Paul Root ptrmgb@... 77...
If you knew what the code was, why were they reading it? Come now, $40 certainly seems fair for 1 good minute or two of labor to plug in the cable, turn the...
For $40, you go to AutoZone, have the code checked for free, and BUY the code manual, and leave with enough money for lunch. Glen ... From: "Levi Smith"...
Prior to 1995, most cars had "service engine soon" or something similar. Same bird, different feathers. Have to go back into the 70's to get away from...
I've got one for my Palm Pilot and it was like $180. What I want to know is what the ones in the stores for like $60 can do. If it's the same thing, I'd...
Well, they'd definitely provide a portability factor, right? Otherwise, one would need a palm pilot or laptop? James ... do. If ... ONLY read ... and ... ...
James, Here's a selection of scanners...looks like you can spend anywhere from $30 to $465. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?CategoryCode=3389 ... ...
Thanks for the tip. I'm curious about all the vacuum fittings on the intake. I'd think those all need to move pre-compressor to maintain vacuum but there...
I didn't know how to clear it at the time. It was my old Altima, I changed plugs, and didn't have one tight, and the cable on another was loose. Two days...
$70 on up. Autozone, Checker/Kragen usually has one on sale. Is Western Auto still around? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Well, I guess I was taking it literally that there was actually *NO* check engine light. I'm almost positive that my '76 Bronco had a check engine light, but...
... Well lets see, 1966 VWbus and bug, 1959 Mercedes 190D, 1981 and 1984 Subaru Gl 4X4 (good car),(still have parts for sale) 1984 Ford 250 4X4, 1977 Mercedes...
Most of the codes and such started about 1981. From then to 1995 or so, you could often trick the ECM into giving you the codes if you knew how... My 86 Olds...
I've always wondered why nobody put a supercharger on a Subaru. Hope it goes well. I'd bet you will need to go to the high volume walboro fuel pump. with the...
I think I saw a kit for a supercharger on a Subaru, but you have to cut a hole in the hood, and put a silly scoop to hide it... a-la "Mitsubishi power bulge". ...
Look at the specs. My bet is that basic ones display and reset codes only. The fancy ones probably display live sensor data and record data sets for analysis....
Great information Glen, thanks. For my Subie, I'm just planning on letting the dealer continue to take care of most repair and service issues. For my 'new'...
