Regionalism. We used "mustard jar" in my neighborhood in the 60s.

We were all about alliteration in New York in the 60s.

We were so poor in Maine in the 70s that we only had the first line. Didn't even know there could be a second one.

Only said it when it was time to get out of the street to let a car go by.

A whole line? Luxury! We only had the scream and the thump to alert us to get out of the way. That, and a mouthful of hot gravel.

We were so poor we couldn't even pay attention.

i was so poor i had to fart to have a (s)cent in my pocket!

I'm sorry tw (I really am, not being sarcastic,) but you misunderstood. I didn't get the Car Chip product after all, only a regular OBDII sensor. My goal was to be able to turn off my own check engine light, both now and in the future. I don't think the item I got (this one) can read those values for you.

Is that a hand held OBD2 display? Not the Car Chip Pro that reads and stores data from a car? And is then read via a computer's USB port? That is the only CarChip Pro I knew of. Did not know a handle display existed.

Clodfobble · 01-13-2012, 09:59 PM

Yes, mine is not a CarChip Pro product at all. It's a different brand of OBD2 sensor, of which Amazon had at least a dozen. It doesn't connect to the computer, and I don't think it can be used while the car is running.

But at this point I'm really sure it's the catalytic converters. (I know you're not sure, but you take an inordinate amount of evidence to be sure, and I am sure enough to meet my threshold.

) The really good news is that I successfully ordered compatible parts online myself, and plthijinx is completely. awesome. and is going to install them for me, with the help of a friend and a welding torch.
