Well, I dropped the car back off at the dealer on Saturday. I called today for status and they said they'd check the timing in the next day or so and that's all they can do. They think it's right and they tried to say that the car "runs rough". (That's a nice thing to hear from your dealer right?) Especially when it actually has sound because of the aftermarket headers, intake and exhaust on it. Then he said the exhaust mods could affect the emissions. Problem is the mods were done YEARS ago! Fact is, the car did not run rough. It passed inspection every year without issue and only has 52k on it now. Could the O2 sensor have gone bad? It's possible, but I did check it out on the ohm meter and it read 13.2 which is correct according to the book (unless I'm reading something wrong).I'm pretty miffed about this whole thing... even if the O2 sensor was bad, I find it very hard to believe that the emissions would be THAT high. It's almost 8 times the max legal number. The timing simply has to be off. Anyone agree/disagree? I'd like to hear some comments on this if you all don't mind...
