I'm in Livermore if anyone wants a code pulled. I invested in a OBDII reader and I think it's well worth it.

Occasionally Harbor Freight has 15 or 20% off coupons, so it'll be even cheaper. You can also get the ones where it just tells you the code and doesn't tell you what it means (look up the CEL code online) for a lot cheaper as well.

Sunnyvale/Santa Clara if anyone needs an OBD2 scan tool.
Question - The place that sold me the scanner says that it makes the ECU tag itself as possibly modified. Anyone got anything on this?

you can unmarry from someone else's car, marry it to yours, check the code, then unmarry it from your car. It might take a minute or two, but I don't see why you couldn't do that...definitely not $400 to do that....
