I tried one time, I bocked off the "hockey puck" on the tip and when I tested i, it sounded like fluid was gargleing(if thats how its spelled?) or spitting so I quit. my mileage is about 300 on a tank, I thought I should be getting more.

my dv seemed ok.. I bought it used... could it be doing this and not throw a code/light?
And yes to limp mode cause I only get 1 or 2 psi..but I don't have a light/code...so I don't know...

So the ones at az and advance can't pull codes that don't have a light? What about a vag com with a ebay cable?
