At 90000 I had a check engine light come on. I had the CAT changed and fixed the problem. After 130000 the check engine light came on again. Had the CAT changed again. At 160000 had check engine light come on again. change cat and 15 miles later the check engine light came on, ended up changing the #2 o2 sensor. No check engine light, but now wont pass smog. The smog tech says running too high to pass. He says keep running it and let the computer reset? I have asked other mechanics and they say just go get a dirty smog and there is probably nothing wrong with it. Car seems to be running well. I drive 160 miles to work and back in the desert. Any suggestions?
