Hey everyone. This is a noob question. Also I'm not going to borrow or buy a scan tool and try to do anything do myself (paranoid).
I'm going add a the following to my car this year:2.5" dp w/hi flo cat, wizair CAI and PCM. I want to get my car scanned before I do anything to make sure its running right. Can I go to about any mechanic or dealership and have them scan it? Are they going to tell me the results or am I goign to get some kind of printout with results on it? How much does this cost on avg? Then once I add the 2.5dp and CAI I will want to scan again then add the PCM. A friend of mine works as a mechanic at a dealership (non-GM) in town and we have access to the facility every Saturday. Would the scan tool that I need be in there? If so I can get it done for near nothing.
Also, the same friend also does work on the side for a smaller local mechanic in town. about 3 years ago when i first got my 99 gtp he plugged this computer into the car and we drove around for a few hours and it was displaying all these readings. I'm assuming this is the scan tool? I'm not positive who it was made by but it was Red and im thinking Snap-On.
Thanks.
