@tvbuster Go to an auto parts store and they will likely hook up a scanner for free. Most cars will also give you the codes through the radio of all things. You have to press the buttons in a certain sequence. If you do it that way it'll just be numbers and letters. You can easily find out on the internet what the code means. Often a mechanic is still necessary to figure out why "cylinder 4 misfire" is going on, though.

@KITT171 i say one word and a smile, and then you assume quite a bit. tone down the assumptions. I love his videos, and considering he rarely makes a spelling error as far as i could see, and this particular one sounds funny, i pointed it out. there is no man better than i, and i am better than no man. dunno why you assume against people who you don't know. Future reference: make the attempt to trust people who haven't done anything obviously untrustworthy.
