I think I may pick that nice one up from autozone whenever the SES comes back on.. if it does. Would be nice just to have one around so I can rent it to friends and what not

Yup. Auto Zone scans it for free. They also have other OBDII for cheaper like $69 bucks. I think the only difference is that it doesn't let you delete the code. I'm not a 100% sure, but I saw 2 OBDII models at Auto Zone and the $150 one they use can delete codes. I just didn't see an erase button on the other one.

sorry for the OT.

Lean below 4000 RPMS, knocking at 4300-4600, 5200, and 6200, and a little rich 6600 and up. A little adjustment with the AFC-II and I'm off to tune 650's.
And the logger still clears codes.

I just got a brand new Creader this week off ebay and it did not work. I have an SES light (P0420 code) but Creader was throwing an internal error code, not recognizing the OBD system. I contacted the seller and he said he had problems with it as well on DSM cars and I can return the unit.
Before I return Creader, for those who claim it is working, what is your procedure for using this gadget - just to make sure I did not miss anything. Thanks.
