Check engine light on and off
Sometimes my check engine light comes on, usually at high speeds. But usually when i let off the gas quickly it turns off, but not if i ease off the gas? Any ideas?

Sh!t that was one of the things the guy said might need replacing. He gave me a new one with the car. Might have to install that.

I replaced the O2 sensor today. The guy who had my car stripped the sh!t out of the washer on the O2 sensor so i had to use a pipe wrench to get it off but what i ended up doing was breaking it in half.
 So when i finally got the sensor i found that the threads inside the exhaust pipe, so i had to go buy a tap to rethread it. Then when i went to put the sensor in the wires were too short. So i had to cut sections of wire out of the old O2 sensor and solder them to the new one to make them long enough. When all said and done it took me 4 hours to do this simple task (including driving to 3 hardware stores to find the right size tap)
