dude, it's cool to have anyway.

Twice now I've had a situation where my truck kept throwing codes and would go into reduced power. Read the code and it was some BS and then was some BS code the next time, it wasn't making sense but I could clear the code and get moving again....... for a little while until it would throw the code.

One was a voltage issue and the other was a loose connection at the throttle position sensor. Both times I was wheeling and at times where I had to do something but couldn't go anywhere because the RPMs would only get up to about 1000 or so. The programmer saved me those days.
