I can guess by the tone of the comments that you would like to stay away from the dealership if possible? You have given it quite a good run but you may have to take it to the 'stealership'. They have the scan tools that are just a bit better than anything off the shelf. Try to get a little bit of a inside edge and see if you can talk to the tech who is checking out your car. "They all can't be jerks". Ask him of his opinion of what the car can and can't do, and explain to him what you want the car to do! See if he is willing to offer recommendations, pay him for his time for the diag' and you head home to do the repair.


Hope you find a good tech out there, who can point you in the right direction you've been everywhere else.
