Just for u all to know, OBD-II isnt gonna be around in 2-3 yrs. Its gonna be replaced by a more efficient system called CAN. This will also replace alot of the copper wires in cars with fiber optics which also means cars will be gettin a slight weight reduction depending on how many wires they got.

I would like to thank you all for your good advises. I bought the OBD II reader on the way home, for 287$ cdn, not to say the RSB is going to wait a little. I'm going to make my first attempt in the next few minute and see what's the code, I'll tell you later how it went.

The code is P0440, " Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction " I was able to erase the code. Are we talking about the square box located underneath the car on the rear left side ? This is the first thing I can think since I had a car accident and the car was hit at that exact spot. The max has been repair since but can it be and after effect of the accident, the code only appear last saturday and I got the car back last tuesday. What do you expert think ???
P.S: The OBD II consol is very easy to use, I need to use a bit of pressure to insert the cable in the car connector.
Thanks again.

make sure your gas cap is tight... clear the code, tighten the gas cap, and then see if it comes back.

I've wanted to get the OBD2 software and connector for some time know....does anyone have any recommendations where to get and which one to get....
I plan on using a laptop interface...I saw one that allowed for logging and 'dynos' and diagnosis, and i think resetting computer...but it did not allow for updates, only viewing....forgot the site though...
Again, any recommendations???...I think the price was about $170...
