    You need to replace the front oxygen sensor, which is about $125-150 if you do it yourself. It'll take you about 20-25 minutes. Very easy.

    Thank you. Could you direct me to a site with the right sensor I would need? I would prefer a Denso one. I think that is what is on there now.

    Rock auto has best prices. I know advance auto parts has them in stock but the price is way higher.

    I'll confirm it for you, yes that's the correct part number for the A/F sensor. And never mind, rock auto doesn't have the best prices. Go to your local auto parts store and buy their denso AF sensor. I'm sure they have the best price for you

    My local parts stores want 173.99 for it. I could get it on Amazon for 107.66 free shipping.

    Easy fix. Took 15mins time. Tools required - 12mm socket to remove 2 nuts and a straight slot screwdriver to release the tab on the electrical connector. I had some PB Blaster standing by, but the 12 yr old (110k miles) nuts came right off.
