Got my car back yesterday. $600 got me new plugs, wires, fuel filter, oil sender switch, O2 sensors. Yes, I know I could do it for 1/3 that myself, but I don't have a driveway or time on the weekends to play with my car...
I started the car and the check engine light was still on... I figured the computer needed resetting, so I pulled the fuse and all was well - for about 5 miles. The check engine light returned and the oil light problem is still there.
Oil Light problem details: As the engine warms up, the light comes on. If I go past 1500 rpm it goes off. As I drive, the rpm threshold keeps rising until the light stays on. At the end of my commute when I get off the highway, the threshold drops again. very weird phenomenom...
The mechanic called to see fi I was happy and I told him no. He is going to run a full diagnostic when I bring my car back to him. At some level, this is generous of him as I brought my car in and told them what to do with it rather than him diagnosing the problem and recommending a solution that didn't work. Nevertheless, for $600, I am going to get my money's worth.
Any thoughts on the root causes of my problems without further info?
