Today's Costs:

[wolven7]

--Engine Diagnostic: $60.00-- PAID
-- Results: "Need O2 Sensor & Catalytic Converter (catalytic converterpart est. $758.40, Rear O2 Sensor $277); Terrence Est. Labor: $140" = $1175.40 before taxes

--New Battery and Mounting Brackets: $69.38

When I was leaving the diagnostic plalce, my battery died, just enough to reset my radio so that I could input the code to make it work, again.

So, even at ~$130, I count today as a Win.

what no no no....what kind of car is it. you can get a flux capacitor for 277 dollars...an o2 sensor is like 30 bucks...its just a screw with a wire hanging off of it basically...but it makes you pass emissions.

97 Honda Accord. I can probably find cheaper parts through any number of people I know. This is just what the dealers want.
