ODBII a must have

[fandtm666]

well over the years i always thought that the ODBII units were
a toy some one would get just to say they had one.

but about 2 years ago it cost me $80 to have a engine light cleared so i
could get a pink slip.

I was peved so when i bought my new android stereo i got a bluetooth
scanner with it .

All i can say thank FK because on friday it paid for itself. I was driving along the freeway
when all of a sudden the engine light came on and i lost power. I pulled over and ran the diagnostic
and it told me i have a issue with cylinder 2.

Off to the shops grabbed some new plugs in the hope thats all it was swapped them over and as soon
as i kicked it over it told me the same thing.

Now in between all the xpleitives coming from my mouth did a google and found that it could be x y or z
but everything said check ignition coil pack.

Sweet of to the wreckers around the corner and yep by chance they had a similar van to mine so grabbed the
coil pack for $60 plugged it in and wolla all perfect.

So after that long winded story it pays to have one of these units because it saved me a fortune because
without it i would not have had a clue and the mechanic would have been making a killing.
