You'll have to borrow a code reader to see if anything is stored in the ESM...... G/L

a code reader, what is that to begin with. could it be that i am letting off to many emissions after a few runs. i do have an aftermarket exhaust and intake.

vgrani1g35, Here's a pic (pardon the poor lighting it's supper time) of my OBD-II code reader I purchased at my local parts store for about $150 Canadian ($100 US).
It scans the memory of your vehicle's ECU to obtain trouble codes that are triggered by a malfunction.
It's a very useful tool in determining what a problem is and in resetting the ECU "check engine" light, which sometimes can be triggered very mysteriously and be very bothersome.
Your dealer would use a tool called the "Consult II" decoder and scanner which is way more comprehensive (and expensive) than this one, but he may charge up to $100 to scan your vehicle (for non warranty work).
It's easy to use and comprehend and a very worthwhile tool in my toolbox.
