I finally decided to go to auto zone and find out why, the guy said that the oxygen sensor after the cat is what is causing the light to go on. So he reset it and the light is no longer on. any truth to this? or should i get a second opinion 98 T Red SVT CF hood and trunk, Vogtland springs, KYB struts, 8mm wires, KKM intake, BAT intake pipe, resonator removed, Steeda Short Throw, JVC MP3/WMA head unit, Alpine Type-S surround, 2 10in, Kicker subs, Soundstream amp,

The specific code will tell you which sensor is having a problem. When the CEL comes on again, get the code pulled and replace the sensor that is indicated. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.
