^ what he said, any autoparts store will read the code for you for free.

and for future reference, get the code read before you start trying to trouble shoot a problem or you could spend a lot of money you don't need to.

The "trick" your friend did has nothing to do the codes related the the power train--read more here.

You need to buy a scan tool (Harbour Freight has an inexpensive but capable one for $40 or so), or go by your FLAPS and have then read the codes as others have suggested...
