i was wondering if you can help me do check something with my 1990 240sx. My check engine light been on for about a month now and the car runs fine but i feel like the car has lost some power due to the problem and l don;t feel like cashing out 1-2 hundred dollars on mechanics that can even fix the problem. I took it to 2 different mechanic already and they have only temporarily fix the problem. then i'll drive the car for about 2 hours or so and the light comes back on. i don't know how to pulled the code so therefore i was wondering if you can help me, i;ll even pay you. i just need to take care of this because it's bugging the hell out of me. I live in stockton. plz email me at [email protected]

i don't have the receipt from the mechanic sinces it i didn't pay them the money. The previous owner paid for the work. I tried to call the shop and ask the for the guy who work on my car but he was never available. The MEchanic don;t seem to know much about 240's and my friends are honda freaks so thats pretty much cancel out the whole friend thing. My car is a 1990 240sx se stock. which monday are you talking about - Monday 3/11 or Monday 3/18. thanks for the help.
