I hate to make a thread but I've done hours of searching and haven't found an answer to my question. So I got a cel a few minutes ago and the dealer is charging me 75$ to pull the code. However I have a coworker with a cobb accessport for wrx and I'd like to know if it would be able to pull the code from my rx8

Sorry Clues, but WCS has a point...


An alternative to paying the dealer $75 is to buy a code reader for $50. 33% savings on this CEL. But wait! THERE'S MORE! Every subsequent CEL in the future is also now free!





Or go to your local autozone/advance/pep boy's. Most of them will pull the code for free.

Instead of searching for hours, drive to a Autozone (or your own local Parts store) and have them read your codes, or buy a $30 code reader?

Hours of searching......

Clues

I'm in Canada and we don't have an equivalent to autozone. I've done research into the Cobb for a few hours because he tried to sell me it. I should have specified. I also read that a standard code OBDII reader won't be able to tell me the cel code since the rx8 is in CAN

Clues

Thanks for the replies, I contacted Canadian tire and the guy said they have one that should work with my car.

LOL Bullshit

But how would I know ...
Where the hell is Canada anyway?

Canadians are soooo stupid

Well, I got the code reader and it threw a P0420. From searching the forums it's usually related to a bad cat. I'm in the Montreal area.

Ok, so what year is your car.
Maintenance that has been performed?

The Catalytic is known to go bad on these cars, could also be a faulty rear 02 as well or if you have removed the catalytic you'll get this cell as well.

I don't understand what you are having a problem figuring out?

And no a Cobb AP from a WRX will not work on a RX8

Clues

It's a 04 ti gray, basic wear and tear items such as coils,wires, spark plugs. I simply wanted to know if a wrx Cobb would have been able to read pull the code since my co worker was telling me it was capable of doing so. I've got a agency power cat delete pipe on the way in a new few days since oem catalytic converters tend to be pricey.
