Could you expand on how I could diagnose my check engine light code using a paper clip?

I don't have the Repair Manual here, but you just short two pins in the socket under the hood, then watch the CEL in the dash when you turn the key on. I'm sure that someone here has the exact procedure, or you can look at (I think) Lexls.com. That site has a great bunch of tutorials.
