Thanks for the elaborate response. Seems like you know exactly what you're talking about. I wish you were in my area. heh...

What's this $560 5 wire wide-band sensor? Is that the front oxygen sensors on the headers? These sensors should be no more than $100-$150 each. That's for the part itself without the 2 hour labor...

Thanks for the details on how to remove and install a new sensor. It seems like it would be a much easier process if you could remove and install a sensor from the top. This would save a lot of time without removing the HFC/TP but I'm assuming there isn't enough room.

Also, you seem mechanically inclined. Do you have any input on the fuel lines that are next to the passengers side cat's? The mechanic had set the rubber that covers them on fire and then bandaged it up with heat tape. Should I be worried? I was informed that the lines were steel and I shouldn't have any issues...

Truly appreciated your help.

Thanks
