lovemycadi Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 BodyByFisher, Yes, I am speaking of the O2 sensors. Specifically Sensor 1, I did not get the exact codes when they showed me they display, my bad. I am still waiting to hear from the shop, will probably give them an hour more then I will be calling them. Sorry for the delay in response, now my internet connection is acting up again. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your help. O2 sensors are about $100 each for parts, occasionally they go bad and need replacing. They should trigger a check engine light. They cause the engine management system to run in OPEN LOOP and the system to run RICH, sort of like the old days when we had a CHOKE, and the choke was stuck partially closed. Easy usually to change. A simple $50 code reader will tell the tech there is an O2 sensor problem, so don't get sucked into any "computer diagnostic" mumbo jumbo!

lovemycadi Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 BodyByFisher, They have already hooked up the code reader right in front of me and said the codes displayed were caused by O2 Sensor 1. So, they better not try that "computer diagnostics" stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin was charged $150 for a 'computer diagnostics' charge, I was just cautioning you to be on notice, but it sounds like you will be just fine.... Glad you are doing well now, come back any time you need help!
