Marto called me back LATE Saturday night, even though Mrs. Marto may or may not have been giving him a little stink eye... To help me read codes to pass smog. And then called today to check in.

He helped clear the codes last April, and I drove the car a few times to help clear codes from then...

Long story short, car passed with flying colors, and once again Marto saved the day.

Wish his shop was 1,500 miles closer so he could install my Vortech.

Buy a OBD2 port scanner to read, reset and address engine code issues. I bought the Innova 3160e.

Weigh 1,500 miles there and 1,500 miles back to get a job done right vs getting it done less than right.

Ain't no comparison.;)

Nicely done sir...

Just checked, some parts of Canada are closer than I am... I am almost 2,500 miles! Dang. Like I said... 1,000 miles Amit no thing... with 5,000 miles RT is a drive!!! That is almost 225 gallons of gas. That is a BIGGAS drive.

What are you driving that gets 11mpg? My beater truck with trailer and Marauder on it gets 14mpg with the air on at 80mph.

Most likely we can handle this.

I need to see the PCM code to make sure the basics are available from SCT.

Dude.... Cool. So gotta double that. Mrs. Marto is not letting me live there, I have to drive back too, right? 22 mpg at 87 mph... 5000 miles.plus off ramps, sightseeing, food, and tumbleweed watering.

We drove to Las Vegas and back from Cochran, GA to attend the Marauderville. Nice trip. We might do it again.
