changed username to Guy B Guy B: Greetings Rich rich-c: good to see you early, Guy rich-c: how are tings going for you - and Annie? rich-c: you there? Guy B: Annie is doing fine. My car, having an ongoing problem with it. The Trac Off light keeps coming on. My mechanic had me go to a Chevy dealer to reprogram it. Been to a second dealer and they didn't fix it. Taking it back there tomorrow rich-c: aren't they getting an error code to explain it? rich-c: by teh way, what is "Trac Off" - does the car have traction control? Guy B: Something with the fuel line. They haven't fixed it at all. Now I read online that 2003 Chevy Cavalier had the fuel pump go out. My mechanic thinks that's not the problem rich-c: the error code says there's a problem with the fuel line? Guy B: That's what were going to find out, again rich-c: well, you have a warning light that says you have one problem, but the OBD says another? Guy B: In the meantime, we have light snow and Artic Cold is coming in for the New Years Weekend rich-c: OBD - On Board Diagnostics, the thing the mechanic plugs his reader into rich-c: we had very cold yesterday but above freezing for a bit today, a dusting of snow overnight rich-c: seems the thermometer will be playing yo-yoover and under freeezing next few days
