when i worked in the dealership we used a scan tool called tech 2. what it does is pretty much not where the crankshaft is setting you know where the top dead is on which cylinder. if it isnt calibrated right the comp dont know where it is causing vehicle to shut off. confusing
that is only if you had crankshaft or sensor out at some point

A scan tool hooks up to your ODB II and reads codes that the car is showing. Helps diagnose problems easier instead oif playing a guessing game,.

i cant sell it, im makin payments on it
ill be back in a bit, im goin to try and get my mind off of this car
the relearn at the dealership is only $97.75....way cheaper then wat i thought. i thought they was planning on raping me without the courtesy of using lube. but $100 doesnt sound like a bad deal
