    mx Bluetooth.

    currently using CarBit to pull codes. it's beaten torque on numbers pulled. it's also beaten the mx's OBDLink software at pulling codes.

    I've probably tried most of the ones in GooglePlay. CarBit seems the best and most fun.

    Down to what's happening.

    I installed rebuilt injectors and the car just felt better. I had already installed cheapo plugs (new). And finally .... FINALLY when i made a change of coils all heck didn't break loose in my engine. my problem on 4 moved to 3.


    new coils on the way (hopefully). i couldn't afford used denso.

    Noticed that the "3" were dated August 11th, 2019.

    Noticed that the "15" were dated July 11th, 2019.

    Also noticed a P0400 (among other generic DTCs) in the results dated 7-11-2019, which wouldn't apply to the gen2, and reeks of dubious OBD2 software.

    Please post current DTCs if possible.

    Consider another techstream setup.

    yeah, i was wondering about that. is there an egr sensor? or does that code get set when certain conditions are met?

    Meaning that a sensor may not set the code but a certain set of conditions w will set it instead.
