I want to buy one of those code scanners. Anyone have any experience with them, recommendations,
etc. My check engine light is on, and I've had it scanned, but it seems like one of those scanners
might be a worthwhile investment.
Loose gas cap? Auto parts stores will scan codes for you for free.
But then you've got to drive there. Not that big a deal though.
That is all great if the code it throws still allows you to start the
car.
In my case the code was for the number one glow plug. Doesn't affect starting, unless it gets a lot
colder!
The code just gets me in the ball park. It could be a bad glow plug, the wire to the plug, the glow
plug module, the wires to the module...only God knows where it may stop. I may have found a
trustworthy repairman, though. Not the dealer.
