Default I got that one too...It's the sensor behing the Ypipe. $5 part.

It's pretty harmless and cheap repair.

Default More like a $40 part. .. details..

I thought I'd just replace it myself. First off, the guy at parts didn't know which one it was, so I though I'd just yank it from the car to show him. Coolant erupted all over my hand (mild burns) and the part wasn't as cheap as I expected.

Next time, i'll just make an appointment.
