Anyone near Tampa, FL with code reader?

Hey guys, anyone in the Tampa Bay area of FL with a code reader? Or maybe know where to get one at a decent price? Got a SES light that comes on while driving after it warms up and its causing havoc on the performance. A code reader or a lead on what to check would be helpful!

All I have is an old Superchips programer to read codes. I would be happy to give you a hand if I ever get my truck out of the trans shop....

When I first scanned Mike's truck, he had a whole slew of codes. A couple were regarding his ESOF setup, a couple were ICP codes, and a couple were EBPV codes. I cleared 'em all and we went for a drive. He doesn't have a tuner.

I had a good 5 mins. worth of data, but due to my own stupidity I accidently overwrote the file with just a few seconds of data. Here is what I captured:

After the drive, the only codes that returned were the ESOF solenoid code and the P1208 ICP code. The ICP appeared to have a little oil on the plug, but it wasn't a gusher like the really bad ICPs I've seen. Unfortunately I lost the WOT ICP data.

I haven't had a chance to monitor my own truck, but should he really be showing over 15 psi EBPV pressure when its 147 degrees outside? His CEL was on when he left my house. Anybody have any ideas? I'd be happy to meet back up with him and do some real monitoring if necessary.

A friends truck kept coming up with the P1208, started having stalling issues. Replaced the ICP and all was good.

Yes on the EBPV -- it's reading direct barometric pressure. You subtract ~14.6psi for the true reading. Mine is exactly the same...

I'll be in Tampa for about a week, then down to Ft. Myers with my family. Leaving tonight.

Kent, I wanna thank you for your time and scanning my truck. With the truck throwing an ICP code and some oil starting to leak, I decided to go with getting a new one. Found one new on ebay for $50 so it wasn't THAT bad. Should be here either Fri or Sat. I shall let you know what happens what I put it in. Thanks again! Enjoy the gift. lol Thanks to all the rest of you as well!
