I have a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. I recently had Pep Boys replace the bank 1 & 2 oxygen sensors......twice, because the check engine light keeps coming on. I took my car back for a 3rd time and now they want to do a $95 diagnostic test and said that they still might not figure out the problem. What the hell!!! I don't have the time or money to keep f-ing around with this car! What else could possibly be wrong with it? Help, please.................

I also had Pep Boys put on a new crankshaft position sensor......i don't know if that may be related.

First stop taking your car to those ripoff artists at Pep Boys! I hope you didn't have to pay for both sets of O2 sensors. As someone else said, take the car to Autozone and they will read the codes for free. Or take it to a dealership, even they won't bend you over so much.

Check Engine Light)
There are many components that work together in the engine to maintain optimal engine performance and economy.
A service engine soon, or check engine light indicates that there is a sensor that is reading a condition that is "out of range".
Simply resetting the light does not solve the initial cause of the problem.
Replacing a number of parts trying to troubleshoot the problem in the hopes of getting the light to stay off is a tremendous waste of time and money.
The simplest, and most economical way to alleviate your issue, is to have an engine diagnostic done by a reputable shop to determine what caused the computer to signal you to begin with. Just reading the computer codes may not find the "cause".
