I am in need of a scan on the family vehicle, a _cough_ 1998 Ford Contour SE (2.5L V6). I don’t really have a mechanic and my dad always went to Green & Ross and they want something like $80 for a diagnostic scan read out. I’ve read Autozone does it free but they’re US only so I’m wondering if there’s an equivalent in Canada. If any of you have one, perhaps I could buy a little of your time to do one for me? :fingersx: Thanks ---

On the honda I stick a paperclip in a plug and it tells me the code via the # of flashes of the CEL.
