Well, they won't even rent the scanners, nobody will. I call Kragen, CarQuest and AZ...there was a lawsuit involving autozone not too long ago so now none of them can do the scans or even rent the scanners out.

The guy at Kragen said that there is still a way to get it done free, I have to call AAMCO and make an appointment and they will do it. Sucky.

sounds like the cat converter... I had the exact same thing happed to my truck. I thought the thing was going to blow up because it was so rough and it did the same shifting thing yours did. When my SES light did come on the very first time, it flashed, meaning stop the engine because damage could be done if you keep running it...which points to the cat. My car was running lean so it just "over catalyzed" the converter and blocked it up.

k well thats good. You might just want to buy a code reader from an auto parts store, I did that and I have had a few good uses out of it. My dads avalanche SES light came on and is still on and the reader said it was the cat, so yours could still be that but no so violent like mine. But your problem sounds on and off...keep us posted on what it turned out to be

Thanks man. Not sure how far RC is from Oceanside, but the soonest I could get an appointment at North County GMC is 7:30 tomorrow morning, so until then I've gotta wait...and I have a feeling that it will be an all-day thing. Then we leave saturday morning. Blah.
