Here's a thread from when I got one. Mine has worked just fine.

I have no idea. I don't remember changing it, though I guess it's possible I did. I suppose it's also possible someone else here with superpowers did it.

Your theory sounds plausible. I'll go with that.

I had a rough start once, only once in the cayman, when it was close to new. Ran rough, threw a code, then when I restarted it ran fine (and after a few days code went away). When I had it read, it was a misfire, but since it didn't recur, I didn't worry about it.

But there was that slick one Clyde pointed out a few months ago that I found intriguing... about $100.

I have the Actron 9145 (was an Amazon Gold Box special one day a few years ago for a stupid cheap price). It works with the wagon.

Josh, you're welcome to borrow it if you need it. Can bring it downtown one day this week...

Thanks, Clyde. I ended up just buying one at AutoZone. The code was an evap leak--so, probably gas cap, though it seemed tight.
