Re: engine light on

Try replacing your downstream HO2 oxygen sensor.

Re: engine light on

Do you know what the codes mean exactly? And what do you mean 8. Because normally an O2 sensor's midway is 450 mV and if fluctuates up and down. 8 mV is too rich and 800mV is too lean.

Re: engine light on

The codes are as follows

P0460 - Fuel tank level sensor
P0454 - Evaporative emissions (EVAP) pressure sensor
P0420 - Catalytic converter bank 1 Efficency below limit

The law of averages would proberbly point to the fault being the Lambda probe.
I doubt the first 2 are any concern. Its not uncommon to get Phantom faults within the fault codes.
