Yeah I can't talk, cuz there's a midas right next to my work. And they usually don't bs ppl, but the one u went to might be different idk. Check the plug and see if you bent one of the connectors inside the plug. Cuz its happened and no1 thinks of it

Welli l finnaly had time to check this problem out. I unpluged the sensor, wiped it off really good. Someone had spliced a new connector on this car. Pulled off all the electrical tape around the splicing.......the wires were barley touching each other. So i cut the wires and reconnected them and wraped them with that heat shrink tubing. What ya know the car fired on the first time and my check engine light was gone. All my worries over a piss poor wiring job.

Haha ok i spoke too soon....Well the car did fine, and light stayed off but after 30minutes of driving the light came back on and stayed on until i turned the vehicle off. Seem's the light only comes on when car is running normal temperature. Is this a problem with bad sensors or bad wiring?

Ok im starting to figures this out. First start car fires right up, but once im driving and the engine heats up the light comes on. After i shut it off its hard to startback up. Is this just my sensor bad or do i have other problems awaiting to be found?
Thanks Guys
