The shop determined it wasn’t the O2 sensors just by me telling them
what was going on, I just took it to the shop this morning.. I should
hear from them soon. I have never had to take a car to a shop before,
so I’m afraid they may come up with some crazy problem or price... I
was just hoping someone here may have dealt with a similiar problem
and could give me a realistic opinion.. Thank you very much for your
thoughts... Hopefully the shop doesn’t screw me over... We’ll see...
