nope no CEL, he didn't diagnose the problem.. as ppl said on here, it could be many things.. but when he checked the spark plugs, thats when he said the car was runnin lean.

it might be due to a blown head gasket.. but there is no coolant in the oil, so its a 50/50 unless i get a compression check done. btw, how much you think he would charge for a compression check?
