    Autozone?!?!?!

    ok, apparently autozone is no longer allowed to scan my computer, ive called 3 of them and they have all said the same thing, the automotive bureau doesnt allow them to do it anymore for free. WTF!

    they told me to go down to pep boys and have them do i, but they charge 80 bucks! I know my engine is misfiring, and i dont know where i should go now..

    someone help me out here, should i take it to god forsaken pep boys and have them do it, or go to the dealer??????

    i have heard that on a couple of forums, but im not sure what to tell you.

    the autozone here does it no problem.

    try to post on a regional message board somewhere, (ls1, or camaro z28, ect) and look for somebody with autotap/efi live who can help.

    I have a code scanner, but im a little far away, otherwise your welcome to use it.

          That wouldn't surprise me a bit. I was talking to a guy who did some work on my car (certified mechanic), and he said the bureau of automotive repair (California) is basically a mafia when it comes to licensing. If you want to get your licence from them (which are required to have in order to run a shop), you have to take their tests, abide by their rules, and buy their posters at several hundred dollars a piece.
          In addition, they can pretty much shut your shop down whenever, and for whatever reason, they want, and there's not a whole lot a shop owner can do about it.
          Anyways, getting more to the point, he was saying that the dealerships (and auto makers) won't give up a lot of their fault code info out to independent shops. They give out the basics, so that a shop could say that it was a certain area in the engine or transmission, but that the dealerships are able to use codes to trace problems to an individual part, and that's what they don't give out.
          The state bureau protects them with this, and I'm sure the thing with Kragen is the same deal, dealerships and everybody were making money for charging for scanning codes, and Kragens put a crimp in their business.

            man, california is really messed up.

            WHO CARES if they offer free code scanning.... its a service, so they can SELL more parts..

            The dealers can complain, that they don't get to charge $60-80 for a code scan... But its called FREE ENTERPRISE system..

            Or did california forget about that?

            Can you still buy code scanners in california? Or are those restricted sales too?

                If your local exhaust shop is worth a damn, the should have a scanner. Ask them if they will do it.
