How to Diagnose Car Issues

http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2011/10/20/how-to-troubleshoot-car-issues-wit...

While there is certainly no substitute for a trained and experienced mechanic, having a device handy that can help point you in the right direction when it comes to car trouble is never a bad idea. Sometimes, problems present themselves to the internal systems in your vehicle before you even notice them.

Enter CarMD, a handheld diagnostic tool for vehicles, accesses your cars internal computer and analyzes the data to detect any early warning signs of car trouble. If something seems out of place, it'll let you know through the web interface, give you the codes and clues you may need to pass on to your mechanic, and help you avoid costly and unnecessary repairs.

In addition, CarMD can alert you to any recalls that may need to be handled on your car. Pretty much everything in relation to the health and status of your vehicle can be tracked and logged through CarMD.

You can find out more about CarMD by visiting their site:

@JakeHustle2 ODB2 reader will give you a code, then you google the code, buy the part and replace it yourself. Unless you don't know how to turn a wrench, and are afraid to get dirty.

Sorry Chris, but what you have is not a car. It's a lunch box on wheels. It's crap. Get a BMW 3-series or something and don't make geeks look bad.
