I've had that done already. The codes it usually issues are for System Too Rich (Bank 1, pretty sure the fuel is lean) and Cylinder Misfire (4th cyl).

My engine is weaker than a geo metro when the AC is on but when its off i start burning up because TENNESSEE, not to mention that when i get in my car, i burn myself on everything that isnt cloth. I had to put a cloth cover on my steering wheel just so I could steer in the daytime. The A/C works great...except for when it smells of mold 3 minutes after you turn it on, even when the vent for outside air is open.
Also, anyone know of some cheap mods to make my car's engine peppier?

Have you had your A/C system cleaned lately? I mean, if it smells like mold then a cleaning is way overdue.

what do you drive again?
regardless, new spark plugs, checking/fixing air seals, and a new quality intake filter all help and are cheap

System Too Rich means it is injecting too much fuel. That could be your problem. Also replace your spark plugs, wires, and the coil pack for cylinder 4.

I drive a Toyota Yaris sedan. I'm thinking maybe a pulley for my first mod. Weight reduction isnt that practical because it's still my DD.
