steviej Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 did they tell you what sensor was bad or not working (there are a many sensors in the car? My guess it was an O2 sensor. If it was, these are easy to replace if you know which one is faulty or totally not working. Several sites on the web sell these parts for a fraction of the cost it would be from the dealer direct. Do you know what trouble codes were read from the Check Engien Light? steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I recommend you go on ebay and buy yourself a obd2 scanner and find out your engine codes since you have no warr and se it to find out what is wrong.This way you can post them here and we can hel if possible.

steviej Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 the trouble code will tell you exactly which one of the O2 sensor is faulty. each sensor will generate a different number code. See if the mechanic can give you the exact code, for example P1135 is the code for the O2 sensor located at (Bank 1 Sensor 1). sk has a good suggestion. you can get a scanner online for about $100 USD. This will save you the diagnostic fees in the future. think about it. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 o2 sensors on the manifold, 1 behind it near the catalyt coverter and 1 on the rear exhaust pipe. Which one do i replace?
