Default Found a OBD2 reader.

My mom says she found something under her seat with a screan and a cord coming from it, so i was thinkin its an OBD2.

It was!! freebie when she bought the car i guess.

Anyways, so i thought id scan my car. Got a couple codes, for my cat and such, but one that did strike me is a 6th cylinder miss fire....

Any ideas what could cause that? bad wires/plugs?

pretty sure everyone of those things on my blazer is F'ed.

Here's my TO-DO list.

-spark plugs - purchased
-spark plug wires
-radiator
-new cap
-new rotor-
- new brake rotors
- new pads

Any suggestions for the pads and rotors? i heard drilled and slotted are good.

I got a set off eBay, front & rear, crossed drilled, chamfered & anti corrosion zinc painted centers with semi metallic pads for $212 delivered. Been about 2 years now & they're still fine, no warping, gouging & stopping seems a bit better but with antilock who's to say for sure. I do know they run cooler so that should help with longevity. Just remember to put the "squeek stop" gell between the shim & piston & shim & pad so they're quiet.
