Ok, bought a 1997 Pontiac Bonnieville last year - Ran Great!
Then...
My registeration was due and I took it to get a smog...
Didn't pass, codes on the failed smog was for 2 things
1) Map sensor (turns out I didn't have one at all)
2) TPSensor (needed to be replaced)
Before I fixed those I went and got a diagnostic, which concluded that the 2 things above were bad as well as manifold gasket and that the ****** that sold it to me unscrewed the check engine light.
So in reality the engine light had been on since I had the car

Then I replaced all that was broken with the car (Map, TPS, Gasket, engine light, as well as tran flush, oil change, etc..


Took it to pass smog and EVERYTHING passed, only thing was that someone had unhooked the battery and I was told by the Smog Tech that I needed to drive 60-80miles to reboot comp, then it will pass.

65mile later my checjk engine light came back on

SOOO Question is:
What the HELL should I do???

Yeah you know your cars... A Bonnieville is not a truck - it is a car.

Go get the computer scanned and see what codes came up and go from there, could be something else... I know codes can be frustrating, I bought a Durango which was a basket case, but I got it ironed out after i bought a code reader and did all the work myself.

Have the codes read again and find out what is causing the problem now. Hopefully, it will be something else that will be simple.

I think that the guy that sold you the car ripped you off, unless you got a heck of a great deal on it. The next time you buy a car, have it checked out by yoru own mechanic before you buy it. Then you'll know what you are getting.

good luck

Take it to the dealer to have it checked, ...But.... the emission system is supposed to be equal to whichever is newer, engine or car, at least in Texas. You may have some legal recourse against the seller, especially if it was a dealer. Good luck with that. The only way you can sell it is either to a dealer as trade in, but you are required to tell him about the faults, or to a salvage yard. If you choose the latter, make sure to scrape any registration or inspection stickers off, so that it can't be driven and wrecked while still in your name. Also you should notify the state if you do sell it.
