Hello Tegger,
yes i did read it.
steve said it sounds like i need to find a new tester. Thats what
i thought too but i do not think this was his first day and i do
not remeber testers ever having trouble getting a good tach
reading in the past. They always just plopped that paddle up on
the dash and the test done in about 10 minutes.

Then with (Ben and Jim) i have two strikes against the car and
1/2 strike on my story.

I did not know it was standard practice to replace the O2 sensor
every ~80K ? i know i have never done it.

I can and will test it (as i can) to see if it is suspect but
according to those O2 comments and even some of your own posts
about O2 sensors ... the O2 should probably be replaced ?

Anyways what happens if you get failed twice ? Right now i have
to show proof of work done to get it tested again for free ?
other wise i am out $50.

thanks for all the helpful advice,
robb
