$20 to run diagnostic unlimited amount of time yourself, opposed to $155 for a one time diagnostic from the stealership. :shifty

yeah i dont know the fault code sadly, all i know is on the diagnostics
it came out
1) vacuum line leak
2) cam sensor intake
3) cam sensor exhaust

i had all those fixed just now, but the light is still on
new bosch spark plugs. new upstream and downstream oxygen sensors
its running alot smoother but the damn light is still on
