I'm reading around the net on running the car with the check engine light on. People claim that doing this makes the car run rich which in turn makes the CATS hotter and can apparently cause a fire, I don't know how true this is.

Anyway, I'll have to take it to the dealer although I hate like hell doing that. Initially when the light came on before I installed the MILs, they told me it was my MAC cats. I hope they don't give me a hassle about changing out the bad O2 sensor. Maybe I'll just ask them to give me a new O2 sensor and I can change the bad one out myself as my inspection is due in May.

Thanks agin for the help.
