RE: seriously? the O2 sensor?
just to add an idea, check if they are pluged in all the way. It's not hard to change them, not too long ago I changed 3 sensors (one oil and 2 air) from a friends altima. took me 30 min

RE: seriously? the O2 sensor?
so it finally came back on today. had it checked. and the dude said either LEAN 1 or LEAN BANK 1. and its the front o2 sensor. but he said the computer they have arent as good as the ones they have at the machanics. so if any one knows what that means.

means he's full of crap and made something up... take it to a real shop or just replace the O2 sensor (not actually suggested, but if you already spent $65+ at one shop, it might be cheaper just to replace it than get it tested again to find it's actually bad)

Go back & have someone read the code again. Tell us the ACTUAL CODE NUMBER. That will say which sensor and we can give you some things to measure or check.

got my check engine light on read at knects and the said it was the O2 sensor. my car only has 44k on it can this be? and how much to replace? i only have a powertrain warrenty and i assumed it was under that but the dude at the dealer said its part of the emissions. and it would cost 250 for the front one or if it was the back it would be 350.
