Dave Sharome (sp), Nowell, Kevin and possibly my buddy adam are gonna come over tonight and see if we can work it out.... I suspect that I did not quite get the charge return bolt on right.. not sure .... were also going to go thru the FSM and use to cipher to read codes. (I know it threw or 2 yesterday)
Wish me (us) luck guys!
If this does not work.. I may have to trade my z in for a ... umm... viper
