Has anyone had a problem with a '98 Rav4L and NY State emssions? Bought a '98 Rav4 L 5 speed with 46000 miles in 2002. Check engine light went on within a week of purch and I was told it was the oxygen sensor ( which was coverd and replaced at no charge) Next major repair was the Catalytic converter-- replaced by dealer. At 85000 miles dealer told me I needed to replace the EGR valve-- and quoted $638.00 excluding labor! I took my repair business to a local.shop and paid $238.00 for the same part, the check engine light has remained on. The car now has 125,00 miles and runs well. Shop tells me it may fail emissions and maybe I should buy a new car. I would like to keep the car for 2 more years. Trade in value is approx. $4500.00 How many O2 sensors does this car have? Any suggestions/estimates about repair costs would be appreciated.

Alright, first you need to find out what your car is trying to tell you. Most chain parts stores will retrieve stored trouble codes for free. Tell us what codes you have, and we'll try to help.
