How much should an aftermarket 02 sensor cost? This seems to be the common cause of the dreaded "check engine" light. Is it fixable on your own without big mechanical knowledge?

They're $80 or so, plus or minus. Do check your codes first though since there are a LOT of other things besides a bad 02 sensor that will light the check engine light. Go to

If it is in fact the O2 sensor I got mine for $61 at NAPA recently. I disconnected the battery cable to clear the check engine codes and screwed in the new sensor. It took all of 5 minutes, no special tools needed just a 7/16" wrench. No more check engine light (code 21).
thanks HG, now where the hell is that thing?
