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.
