  Bummer. :-) Yeah, I figured you would have, but I thought I'd
ask just in case. :-) Does the key on/off method work? Seems like
if you have to remove the hypertech to clear the codes, you have to
disconnect the power first, which will erase the codes. If the
hypertech goes between the wiring harness and the computer, then
even if you don't disconnect the power, it'll still cut power from
the PCM when the connectors are unplugged... Sounds like a
frustrating little catch 22. :-)
