CORunner93 ,

Good post , not too long. I suggest if anyone intends to drive in the future they pay attention to this stuff because they're eventually going to be faced with the same situation-- especially if we're going to continue to enjoy our relic vehicles. The emission standards are tightening on a regualr basis. It's going to get tougher.

If you have time could you start a new thread on the OBDII
hardware and software (all the pieces) you have and where you get/got it . I am only aware of readers you can buy at tool stores/autoparts etc. and don't really know much about it. I would be interested in that info. Thanks
