Check Engine Light is on
Hello
I have a 1995 SC300 5 speed
Last night my Check engine light came in so i went to a local shop this morning after reading the forum, First off if you have a 1996 or before I think you have to do a OBD 1 test and after 1996 is the OBD 2 testing , Auto Zone does not do ODB 1 anymore and Im pretty sure Advanced Auto does not either. I hear AAmco still might but I paid $35 to have the OBD1 diagnostic the mechanic said code 21 error came up,,,the main o2 sensor,,,,he started trying to clear the error and then asked me if I have ever cleaned my fuel injector and how old is my oil. i just bought the car recently and had the oil changed to synthetic. Then he brought out a box of 3 fuel injector cleaner shaped bottles which he said is $70, 1 for the oil, 1 for the fuel, and another for the fuel injector is what i think he said in broken english.
Why is he trying to sell me this 3 piece kit instead of having me replace the main O2 sensor?
