Code Problems

Today my coolant light came on. I drained and flushed my radiator, then filled it back up with dex-cool. It is definatley full, but the light is still on. I ran a test on my car and got a code nack that read the following way:
A/C Refrigerant pressure sensor a circuit malfunction.

Is this something I should bother with or should I just take it in and have someone fix it? If I have someone look at it what cost should I expect - I don't want to get ripped off.

. My car also has been stalling off and on while idling. I replaced one of my vacuum lines that looked bad, and it is running alot smoother, however when I ran the test on my car for the above, I also received the following code:
system too rich (bank 1)

I am under the impression this is an O2 sensor, but I don't know if it is the upstream or downstream from the catylac converter. Again is this something to have someone else worry about or should I attempt it. And how much should I expect.

This is for a pontiac grand am 1998 SE 2.4L

Thank you for your help.

Ac is something left to pros with the proper equipment.

What were the exact codes?

The first O2 inputs the mixture setting. The downstream basically checks the upstream and cat function.

Good luck and post back. :)
