Does anybody have the code reader that Wal-Mart sells its like 33.00 and it has a digital read out of the codes. Just wonder if anyone has it and if its any good and if its worth it. I bought a cheap one a while back and i can't figure out how to work the damn thing all it does is a little light flashes and it beeps. I need a easy one that tells me the codes lol

I have not tried that one, but it is the one i would get if i did not have one. i have read of one guy on this side and one fox guy who bought that particular unit and they both said it was a good one.

so take that for what it is worth.

good luck.

HA HA I seen in my Chilton/Hayes manual (not sure which one it is) that you can do that but seems a little shady to me

Yellow: I beat ya to it. I took the car out for a ride after it heated up damn CE litght came on so I went to walmart and picked one up ran it said i had insuficant EGR valve flow kinda figured it was something to do with that. Them damn cheap ass plastic vacuum lines keep breaking and i kinda riged it up to work. so after checking it i sniped the one line so hopfully it flows better i took it out for a spin afterwards and it didn't come on again so maybe i fixed it. I'll have to redo the lines before inspection so I'm sure theres no problem

Thanks for the replys guys
