What code reader do I need? I looked it up and looks like an OBD II but when I look that up I get hundreds of different products. Does anyone have any suggestions on what reader to buy?
I'm not sure I can justify buying a fancy code reader since the Dodge is the only car that would use it... but I don't like buying junk ether. 
THANKS! |
Don't freak out about the cel, it could be as simple as a bad O2 sensor or a loose gas cap. It doesn't take much to trigger the light.
My local sears sells a few code readers if you want to do some hands on comparing.
Is it a steady or blinking cel?
