thanx for the advice, this car is pre OBDII so i can actually do the
scan my self with a jumper wire. i actually work at a parts store up
here in canada, and your right they are very cheap, i just didnt want
to waste money if i didnt have to. it has been in there for well over 2
years, so it proably does ned to be changed. this weekend i might just
pull out the torch andmeter for some fun and test it, but ya i think im
gonna invest in a new one.

thanx again
mark
