Anyone in the Vancouver area help me read a CEL?

I've reset the CEL a few times. It would stay off for a little while and then come back on... usually at start up, or when idling.

A little background on the car. It's a 2004 with about 44000km. I'm the second owner and it has zero mods. It had a K&N drop in filter for a while but have since replaced it with an oem filter. Plugs and coils were changed a year ago.

Anyone in the Vancouver area with a OBD reader that can help me out is much appreciated!

Thanks.

I'm going to take a guess and say its the O2 sensor saying the CAT isn't working properly, do you smell any catalysed exhaust?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what catalysed exhaust smells like, but it does smell pretty strong compared to other cars (ie. Hondas, Toyotas). However, the smell has been the same for as long as I can remember (couple years). It's just the past little while that the CEL has popped up.

I'm sure I have something that can read that pesky code

Hey Dan, it's been a while!

Thanks for offering to help me out! I'll send you a pm.

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
