san jose, ca based bimmer person with 'check engine' reset tool?

[Dinanify]

Hey Folks, looking for someone with an OBD2 'check engine' reset tool? I just need to borrow it (don't feel like buying one just yet). I'm flexible and would be happy to come to you.

THanks a bunch!

I gots one. Wanna hook up somewhere?

[Dinanify]

Yeah man, that'd be great! I'll be at work today @ NVIDIA on Walsh and Montague Expressway from 9am-7pm, but if you're free after that? Or, if you are able to swing by during those hours, I can run out and meet you. Whatever works for you, man.

Is there some place convenient for you? From what I Can tell, this should be pretty quick. Or if you feel like hangin for a bit, getting something to eat too, whatever, that's cool, just let me know man.

Thanks!

Will you be anywhere near NVIDIA during the day after school? (Montague expressway and Walsh)? If so, I can do it during the day, if not, it'll have to wait til evening.

THanks again man, I really appreciate your willingness to help me out!

Oh i forgot, is your car a 95 OBD1 or is it 96+ OBD2 car? Cause i have one of those OBD2 port tool and only works on OBD2 cars.

Hey Yih,
My car is OBD2 (the tool you have should work). As far as meeting, are you free in the evening? Maybe there's some place I can meet you near your place? on Thursday evening? wherever is cool with me (some place convenient to you).

[psk145]

can you just reset a check engine light? Dont you have to fix the problem?

[Dinanify]

Hey psk145, I have already changed out the the component that caused the problem (a faulty o2 sensor).
-Ben

[psk145]

and its still on? Are you sure its not a different O2? Does OBD2 tell you specifically which O2 to replace?

[guc32]

Ben, would you meet me at Starbucks on the corner of De Anza and Stevens Creek, behind the Chevron? Yeah im free tomorrow evning. What time would you say u like to meet? Anyone else interested, we should meet up there. Chill or something.

Yih-Woei

[Dinanify]

[guc32]

THanks again to Yih-Woei tonight, appreciated the use of your cable/laptop man, that did the trick!

The track event I was talking about is here:

$125 for 5-30 minute sessions of hot lapping is pretty hard to beat man! Only tough thing is it's on a friday, but if you decide to go down, let me know. I'll probably drive down that THursday, stay with some friends in bakersfield that night, and change tires when I get down there, I'm sure I could set something up man...

Anyway, glad to meet you and the other guys! THanks again!
