From : steve k

Q: the shop told me the reason my check engine light is coming on is because of an o2 sensor i think thats what he said and it will cost me $186.00 to have it replaced. it wont hurt my vehicle if i dont have it done he said since they started putting them on cars the check engine light goes on all the time. and it wont pass ny inspection with a check engine light on. the light is not on all the time. any suggestions 99 4x4 ram thanks steve .
