You can buy them?

Yes. But now that I've checked prices, I will definitely pass. They are about $800 on Amazon. I've read you can make homemade ones pretty cheap, though.

edit: scratch that. I found one for $150

As for myself, I would find a competent mechanic and just pay them to do it. Unless one enjoys screwing around under the car, and whose time has no value.

Day 7 -
Bought a AUTEL HT309 from Wally World - hell of a buy - not - came without instructions - I'll try Google - did manage to clear the code so at least it works.

Day 10 -
well the engine light came back on again - code P0455 again - I cleared it again and will check with my mechanic guy to see if he has a smoke machine to for test leaks. I'll avoid going to the stealership as a last stop choice.
