    well i threw another code....i threw one at the mountain run last time and chris ran it and it was a misfire on 1 of the cylinders. Well i just threw another cel tonight. I dont have the obd reader but if its the same thing i might be in trouble. Does SOG charge money to look at your ride? Are they pretty good about helping you out and doing it within reasonable price?

    Is the CEL flashing?? If it is then it might be a misfire, the CEL flashes when there is a problem that may cause damage to the engine if it persists. Otherwise, a solid CEL is not as big of a deal. But yeah id go to autozone and get it pulled for free, that may give you some idea of where to go from there. Good luck with it man!
