who is right?

My check engine light came on this morning so I took my baby to Autozone and had the guys there hook up a reader to see what the problem was. The reader said bad O2 sensor. When I went inside to find out the price the guy told me it was $65.00 per sensor and I needed 2 sensors. Being that i'm not that rich I went home with no sensors. When I got home I started reading my Haynes manual and according to it, the GA only has one O2 sensor. Who is right?

97 GASE 3.1 V6

One before and one after the cat.

Haynes may be quoting about a different (earlier) year. So yea go with justin and autozone.

well guys, the whole question of the O2 sensor is moot now. My car was trashed when a 18 wheeler ran me off the road and totaled my car. Thank God I wasn't hurt that bad, but I think I'm gonna go and get that Monte Carlo Supercharged SS now.

First off , glad your ok.
Why the heck would a 18 wheeler run you off the road? What did your insurance company say?
What will your insurance company say when you get a quote for the ss?

must be something with 18 wheelers not liking GA's. I took a trip to Ocean City, MD this past june and on the way home i was run onto the shoulder of the interstate by one. No damage but definitly scared the hell outa me! Guess he didnt see me haha.

the cops already stated that the accident was the truckers fault. I was in the passing lane on I-20 and he was in the slow lane. He claims he didn't see me when he attempted to switch lanes, so I'm gonna get a quick 100K settlement out of this one.

how are you going to get a quick 100K settlement? Don't you just get the value of your totaled car?

You can get money for a lot of stuff in an accident. property damages, bodily damages, missed work. If he got hurt, bodily damages is probably where most of it will come from

i suffered 2 broken ribs, a broken leg and a moderate concussion. i've already retained a attorny and the insurance company is already offering a settlement. not as much as I want, but i give them 3 weeks and i'll have my money.
