That company also offer's such products as:

The Butt Dyno:


The patented lowering kit for all vehicles:


These are awesome, polishing pads with wear indicators, now you know when you need to replace them!:


The adjustable power band:


and for our lady drivers, an automatic tampon dispenser!

"This is dedicated to the lady racer on the go! Featuring quick dispensing action, the Tampon Dispenser for Automatic Vehicles is the ideal match for any vehicle with an automatic transmission. The built in canister operates much like the clip of a gun, and has a capacity of 12. Extended clips may be purchased, depending on vehicle. Absolutely not for use with manual transmissions!
Deep Discount for Hyundai Tiburon owners!"

Tom if I am not mistaken any autoparts store should have a reader.

I don't know about Texas, but California won't let the autoparts stores do free code reading anymore, it's stupid. If you were closer I have a laptop program with hookups I could check it for you. Let us know what you find!

I went by Coppell Tire and Service, and they did it for me. The code that came up was P1441 evap system blow during non-surge. Anyhow, it has to do with some emission coming from the tank. It might be a loose the gas cap.

Anyhow, they reset the Check Engine light. I then had a great idea. I'll go get my inspection sticker while the light is not on. Turns out when you reset the engine light the emission check comes back as Not Ready. Apparently, it takes a couple of days to read the engine and the emissions. It didn't pass.

I have to go back on Friday to see if its calculating everything and then see if it passes. I have a feeling it will.

Peace.

In Az. they can read them but can't reset the code unless you buy the parts to fix it.

And all over the world, a ScanGauge will do it for you.

The check engine light never came back on. I took the VX back to the inspection place. There was no problem with emissions, and the inspection pasted easily.
Peace.
