Hi again!

Okay, looks like I'll have to make the trek to Autozone in Laurel, MD. I'm in Silver Spring and the Laurel location seems to be the closest one. I've been to a couple Autoland (?/I think that's the right name) parts stores and they sell OBDII scan tools, but they can't do the check-up because of Montgomery County laws While I am on the subject, I found this on ebay and was hoping someone here could tell me if it's a worthy purchase:

As soon as I can get the codes, I'll post them, but in the meantime, say a prayer to the Contour God in the sky for me .

Thanks!!
Paula





God, I hate those county laws.
Being a Florida man here, I can understand what it's like.

That is a cheap scanner and should do the job of reading and clearing the engine codes. I payed around 120$ for mine, but it does a little more. I still need to get a laptop version.

Anyway, for now just drive to an Autozone and have the current codes pulled so we can get moving on the real problem.
