C'mon, we've all paid for things that we probably could have avoided paying for.

The man found out a problem, unfortunately, he paid for it.

Hindsight is 20/20....foresight is free!

Okay well the autozones in Chicago or worthless. All they carry is detailing kits for donkers, ricer led bull ****, fake hid simulators. I went to a shop that i always go to, and i have a friend who works there. They use a cheap scanner, that gets you the overall picture(Which at first said it was the CYP sensor, which in order to replace will cost you a whole new distributor). And that buddy of mine told me to go a few blocks down where another buddy of mine works. He had some weired scanner that goes to the roots of the problem. And it told me ICM and not CYP. So yea. $40 saved me from wasting $250 >.<

And thanks for some of the quick answers.

Oh man, sounds like they're making up excuses to cover their stupidity. Stop paying money to get a code scanned, that's not what a diagnosis includes. A real diagnosis, like the $80-100 at Honda includes finding the root cause of the problem, not just hooking up the magic electronic gizmo problem solver.

A cheap reader will only read/clear codes. An actual scan tool, which even my hole-in-the-wall shop has a few of, will read the datastream from every computer in the car.

Can you tell us the PXXXX code so we can get you some real help and save you some $$$?
