Whoa what happened to your post?
read da last line, just havin fun with teem for his typing, lol.
serious tho dude, do get those codes read so you can know whats up under that hood. BTW - I am thinking of investing in a OBDII reader, they are expensive, but worth it. JC Whitney has a few different versions for under $200.
