Jose Jose Jose, you know that's never the case. Fix one problem and another takes it's place. Now that I've replaced the 2 main o2 sensors I cleared THAT check engine light code, now I have another CEL and the code I got this time was "71...which translates to "EGR system malfunction"...man, I'm about to rig expolosives to this car if this crap doesn't stop!!!! This always happens to me, and right before the holidays too. This is pissing me off because I dump so much money into this frickin heap it should be running better than most 2000 model vehicles. Now I gotta see what the frick is wrong with my EGR system.

I'm not sure I want to use block off plates like some other people have done because I live in Cali and our emissions laws are so strict. But damn this is disheartening. I can't function iin life at optimal efficency if my car is trippin'!!! I read some threads on code 71 so far and all people have done is clean the system, I guess I'll do that in a few and see if it helps, while I'm in there I can inspect the plugs anyway
