I am trying to sell my car, but first I need to get the Check Engine light to go off. The codes that I got are 171 and 1441. I know that it is a problem with a sensor- I just don't know which one. I have a 1997 Grand Prix, so everything is very electrical. I imagine it could be any one of them?

I'm trying to avoid paying through the nose by replacing several unnecessary things.

Any ideas? Thanks!

My mechanic is running a special on fuel-injector service and recommended it for my two cars, a 97 Camry and a 92 Camry. This guy has a tendency to encourage additional procedures every time I get an oil change, which I don't have the expertise to know if they are valid or not. Is fuel injector service something I need to get done? He says it will pay for itself in gas savings. The special is 60 bucks, by the way, and the cars seem to running OK right now.

Every car is now fitted with an OBD (On Board Diagnostics) socket.
This allows the user to check for faults.
There are anumber of devices available for this.

Who has experience of this?
Which OBD device gives the best clues to avoid being ripped off by garages?

I have a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has a terrible oil leak. I do not know the specifics yet of where the oil is leaking from, but I am now having to put 4 - 5 quarts of oil in my car a week. I was advised to use 20w-50 because it coats the engine better, but I honestly don't think that's really making a difference. Is there anything I can do to slow the leak down until I have the money to get it repaired?
