just an example of things to consider ( the more fault codes you get means probably one thing is the problem ) dealers tend to throw new parts in for profit rather than a fix then blame it on something else and that's where the cost spirals hence the fear of taking your car to the dealership,

im here to prevent that and dealers don't like it because we are all smarter than they think and prefer DIY due to cost.
the reference was to the one who tryed to rap your knuckles over that issue on another forum (no names needed)
