Re: P0303 and Coolant - Plug types
 

Do we know why this is? I just put in iridium/platinum plugs in to my
Sienna and got a couple more MPG over the original plugs. It is coming up
to the time where I will be replacing the plugs on my 2002 TJ. Do we really
just go with the standard old Champion coppers? Almost seems cave-man-like
today.... <grin>.

Re: P0303 and Coolant - Plug types
 

The conventional wisdom is that the heat range isn't quite right. The only
thing that iridium/platinum buys you in that case, is a set of plugs that
don't burn quite right, leading to loss of mileage and perhaps other
problems, but doing so for a long, long time.

Code Scanner (was: P0303 and Coolant)
 

What defines a _good_ code scanner? This is primary on my list this year.
I was thinking of the $65-85 one that pretty much reads and clears the codes
(the one at Autozone, an Actron model). Do I, as someone who can
fix/replace the simple stuff like brakes but is baffled by carb guts, need
the more advanced frills?

Re: Code Scanner (was: P0303 and Coolant)
 

In my opinion, no you do not need any more frills than you get for $65 to
$85. Actron seems to offer 4 models, with the two you are looking at as the
mid-priced units. Of the two, I'd go with the higher end unit, but I'm hard
pressed to tell you why.

I think a code reader is an important addition to your tool chest. I know it
would be a handy addition to mine.
