Need help for someone
Taylor is on his way up north to Rhode Island to meet up with Dave and I tomorrow and his truck is missing, smelling hot, throwing codes, and eating fuel fast.

All the preventative maintenance he did and now everything is going wrong.

Is he anywhere near an Autozone or OReily's where he can get the codes read?

At rest area. No auto parts until Richmond.

When I parked, she ran ragged. Hopefully this is something simple

Rehooked battery. Code gone, actually running a little better (weird)
I though that the MAF was part of the problem, but probably not.
Gonna drive up to northern VA.
