From the time I test-drove this car, October 2004, it's always run great. But the SES light's been on since the test drive.
The automotive shop that sold it said they couldn't determine why, but it was no problem. At that time I didn't know it would not pass New York State Inspection for the next year with it on.
After quite a search, I found a shop that disabled the light long enough to pass inspection, and it passed easily. Unfortunately, I don't live in that area any more.
Just today I saw a local mechanic who says he is not able to pass it due to the SES light being on. My funds are very limited and the car drives great, too - lots of power, good start-up, etc.
This is now a headache of long-standing. I had the codes zapped off twice since purchase ("Oxygen sensor") but they always came back on within a few miles. I can't tell you enough what a GREAT running car this is otherwise!
My mileage is around 110,000 and I have a 6-cylinder Vulcan engine.
Thanks again.
Jenny
