Tristin Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 The girlfriends car is in the fritz. About a month ago, we had the O2 sensor replaced after she took it in to Les Schwab of whatever... I told her our place could do it, but she was worried about the 40min freeway drive to my work. Long story short she was raped on price. Well, yesterday her check engine light came back on and it seems to be acting the same exact way it was before the O2 sensor change. Now, they warranty their work which is awesome, but if we take it to have them check things out and its not the O2 sensor, then not only can we not afford the repair, but now were out the $90 they charge to use an ODB I/II scan tool on the car. I was hoping that someone local to the Kitsap area might have one to check her car out. Now if youve read my latest couple of build thread posts, then you know I really dont have any money. What all that means is that I cant pay for the use of the tool... Now, what I can do is either owe you in the future ro we can figure something out in trade. My girlfriend really needs to get to work and we wont be able to afford the catastrophic failure this might bring on. Can anyone help? Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 If you were down in my neighborhood, you could come swing by the shop. But yeah, one of those parts stores should be able to help you out for nothing, too. Link to comment
