check enigine light

[sarah_percidia]

I'm new to owning a mx-3...so not that knowlegable!
My check engine light came on about three weeks ago, so i got it checked out and was told that it was a cat code/o2 code, i checked it out and my o2 sensors were doing everything that they were suppost to be doing along with my cat (so nothing funny was going on). i decided to delete the code and see how long it would take to come back, hopefully never. it came back this week, but it only seems to come up when its really cold and i've been driving for a while...any suggestions?!?

When was the O2 sensor last replaced? I would suggest replacing it since you are getting an O2 code.

[sarah_percidia]

it was replaced three months ago

Sarah,

I got the same problem. It's easy to replace the o2 sensors except that it's so amazingly expensive to do so. My Check Engine Light usually takes a few days to come back too...it's like fake happiness until it comes back! My car's a 96 so I have to buy TWO damn o2 sensors..that's the worst. If you got some extra money, get a new one. Well worth your time and you'll feel better!
