check for exhaust leaks cause this could trip a code. Get your codes scanned, i know one of the stallions is going to be scanning codes at the 30th, so you can do it then.

There is a show/80 mile cruise this Saturday, starting at a Foster's Freeze in Dublin. Look under"upcoming cruises and shows" on the home page. I think it starts at 11:30 or 12:00. Someone is bringing a code scanner that you can use for free (Saturday only).

Why did the shop cut your wires to extend them instead of using the extensions that are sold?> were they in a hurry?> I am sorry to hear about your car bro> The computer might not like them extending the wires> I was told that if they are cut at uneven lengths that you could have a problem with one> I think you should be able to just scan the codes and it *should* shut the light off> best of luck to you. Try to scan the codes> maybe an O2 sensor went bad?

I extended my O2 sensors with quality 14 gauge wire. No problems to report. (as in no check engine light, nothing, and yes I cut them)
