It"s all good advice, I think the scanner just came off sale at Princess,
disconnecting the battery for a few minutes can't really hurt anything.
Bottom line, learn as much as you can about your vehicle so you can fix it
yourself; cheaper, and much more satisfying.The internet has tons of info:
groups like alt.autos.gm can help you pinpoint the problem, go to Google
groups to search it.
