Also how long does it normally take to have your car computer read when your check engine light is on? I have a 1997 Plymouth Neon.

it depends on how "full" the full tune-up is. there are lots of parts that are tune-up related that could be changed- like oxygen sensors, fuel filter, plug wires, plugs, coils, etc. as for the check engine light- just take it to an auto parts store- most of them will check the code for free, but its up to you which parts you want to replace to try to fix the code. some codes can have numerous causes.

It does not take long to read the computer when one has the proper equipment to do so. A tune up or "service" may vary depending on the number of miles on the vehicle and the check that are required at that point.

My 98 Mercury Sable 24 valve motor took four hours as the complete intake manifold with 6 throttle butter flies plus an extra two rows of throttle plates had to be removed. All this to change the spark plug wires and plugs that face the firewall. Then there was a hefty parts charge for the gaskets, plug wires, platinum / iridium spark plugs plus labor. You don't want to know how much.

To anylize the computer it usually takes about 15-30 minutes and the tune-up anywhere from 1-2 hours, give or take. It depends on what needs to be done to correct the problem.

a few minutes to read it, about an hour or so for tune up
