I'd bet this will likely cost over $100. The anti-fouler method is know to work in the majority of cases and costs under $5. Its your money

the HKS F-CON is an engine management computer which costs around $500-1600 (depending on vehicle application and F-CON model). That excludes accessory sensors, meters, wiring harnesses, etc. Once you get past the cost of purchasing it, then you have to pay someone to tune/program it.

after buying my OBD reader, ill have to pass on this and just delete the same damn code if it pops up.

99$ well spent that can help to diagnose other problems.

hey remember this is a good standalone unit...which would be around $1000 dollars in the first place...AND its now available with a unit that keeps the car from throwing a CEl....last time i checked this was the power and drivetrain section not just the cheap modification section...for those of us looking for this, this is exciting

It also doesn't help Cali peeps pass smog check...not like anyone has had to do that on a tC yet.

I just leave mine plugged in 24/7, I know which codes pop up and why.

Band Aid fix to the rescue.

BTW, if you have a HarborFreight around you can pick up a generic OBDII scanner for about $40.
