I didn't see any replies regarding this on a quick scan. Do yourself a big favor and get this - https://www.amazon.com/Veepeak-Automotive-Diagnostic-Compliant-Vehicles/dp/B01I8UJ0V8/ref=sr_1_13?crid=2QWSS54C275TZ&keywords=check+engine+code+reader&qid=1559137785&s=gateway&sprefix=check+engine+%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-13
Or something like it. This will tell you exactly what's wrong with a quick google search. Sometimes it's just "the gas cap is old and loose." As someone who kept a 97 tercel alive way longer than it should have I really feel your post. Good luck friend!!
The reason they do not rent them is because they are surprisingly cheap: https://www.amazon.ca/Veepeak-Automotive-Diagnostic-Compliant-Vehicles/dp/B01I8UJ0V8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1519141724&sr=8-10&keywords=engine+diagnostic+code+reader
ODBII reader is what it is called. Here is the one I got from Amazon. Literally only tells you the codes not what they mean, but it has a book with the codes listed. But I always Google the code anyway with the car's make and model. You can spend a fortune on theses depending on what kind of things you want it to do. This one will read the codes, tell you pending codes (things that have happened but not enough to trigger a light) and allow you to clear the codes (never do this unless you are fixing the problem yourself).

I bought this one for 14.99. It works just fine, scans codes and can clear them.. all I need.
I guess I'm not looking at the right thing on Amazon. They don't say anything about iphone or android.
For example this one says you don't need a cell phone or laptop. Is this the right tool or am I off the mark? Thanks for your help, by the way.
