I think oxygen sensors cost maybe 60$ and are easy to replace, at least on my 91 they are. I would think a good mechanic could tell you if its the sensor or converter.

Yeah, Calif spec (or maybe NY and MA) are kinda expensive.
First you should pull the code and see what the problem is. Oxygen sensor failure is usually the result of something else not working right (rich mixture, coolant and oil leaks into the stream, etc). Is the valve clearance correct? Timing belt changed? Engined tuned up? etc
So go to your local Autozone or other parts stores and have the OBD-II code pulled for free. Post them here.
