Forgive me for not having the exact code, I'll get that next time I go past auto zone. Last time though it was a slow response from the upstream 02 sensor. I replaced it. Light is still on, code was the same.
What else can I look at? I typically do my own work.. but I'm not quite experienced enough for troubleshooting this. And all I've ever heard about taking emissions troubles to someone are nightmares. My father spent $700 on crap before his light went off. He fought and got some of his money back but I don't need the stress.
Car seems to be running fine. I failed emissions though due to this and the fact that the check engine light was burnt out! (ok, it had been on for a little while). I can't renew my registration in June unless I can pass emissions. I'm seriously sick of dropping money on this fine example of poor egnineering. (transmisson, rear pinions, etc etc etc)
All that said.. if I am forced to bring this to someone, should I bring it to a dealer? I've had bad experiences with dealers.. but if they are best suited to this kind of thing, I'd force myself.
