Default Anyone have an OB2 reader?

hello all,
I have had a CEL that goes on for a day and off for a month. Now, it is always on. I have a hesitation bewteen 2500 and 3500 and it feels like the car runs rich. If I drive around town and spend a lot of time in that rpm range, I get poor gas mileage. If I do all highway driving like going to Atlantic City or driving to Philly a lot, I get much better gas mileage. Seeing as it is my final semester and I don't have tons of money to throw around, I'd rather not deal with the hassle of going to MainLine Honda and paying $50 to have the code pulled. Also, Scott Honda keeps giving me attitude because of my Vortech SC. The belt is off, there is no boost pressure and consequently, no change in fuel pressure or anything else from the black box.

If anyone has an OB2 reader that I could swing by and use really quick I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Anthony

Can't you just short the OBD2 connector with a paperclip? You can on other Hondas... Then you turn the ignition key to the accessoy power on position, and the CEL indicator flashes the stored trouble code(s). The CEL codes are listed here: http://www.troublecodes.net/honda/hondaobd2.shtml

I'm new to the forums, but I've got OBD2 stuff if anyone needs codes pulled.
