do you know how to diagnose your computer? Find out what your car is telling you before you blow it away. Your chiltons manual should give you your computer location and codes and what they mean.

I'm currently having a deal where when my car warms up (after 10-15 min or so), the CEL comes on and tells me its the o2 sensor.

her car is an obd2 and you need a special scan tool to retrieve the codes. Most likely the cel was tripped by the IAT sensor
