u did state an exhaust senser be more specfic yr, type or engine do a self diagnostic see what code u get. Engine bay open daignostic box put a paper clip on grd and ten set ur car on ignishion. If u have a code ur CEL will flash and if u don't them nothing will flash. CEL(check engine light) quick flashes mean 1-9 code 2 or 3-6-8. For codes 10-19 it will flash for a sec for a code 10 and followed by quick flashes for like a code 17. the higher the code is followed my a sec flash followed by another sec flash like a code 20. hope u get the point. try it out see what kind of code ur pulling.

ya thats one of the things i was told that could be wrong but makes no sense that when im on the breaks that the rpms would go up and down

brake rpm

I don't think the increase of rpm when you brake has anything to do with the engine light. My rpms increase when i brake, turn on the AC, ect. it's just because it is a nutless car.
