they told him that it had to be obdII or they could not do it but the ones they use here are cheap and only like 4o bucks but it went off now i hooked up some vacuum lines and he said it dont do it as much as before so i figure he has more dry rotted hoses and he has had the car for 5 years and never changed the air filter so what can u do ya know
