proper scan tool cost$. I've noticed a lot of the old time mechs around here just can't be bothered. There's enough basic hardware work still to keep them going.

You have 2 other cars in pieces? How about selling some pieces to raise some ca$h.
There both r31 skylines, would never sell them as iam trying to build my ultimate 31 out if them. It's taking time but ill get there. The engine light has gone now and car running fine again. Could it have been a bad batch of juice?

What where I live or the job?
live mate, if close enough I have a scan tool you can plug in, possibly crap fuel, but a while back I was told by a mech that some of the standard or e10 fuels can soot up o2 sensors and to prevent it to run a tank of '98 every 3-4 tank fills

I appreciate iam in Carrara, ill see how it goes. Because it always seems to do this running e10. When I put in 98, not an issue and it running fine again now, light gone to. I heard they don't measure certain things as acurate when making e10 compared to a premium. Possible carbon buildup maybe.

Get it checked out when you have the cash though, as it should be able to run on e10 with out issues
