Sorry but only a fool would pay 30 grand for a vehicles whose check engine light is on, and the transmission is slipping. Only a fool would accept your agreement about you repairing the problems without deducting from your sale price.

Speaking of Dodges, had another one with a 3.9 and a code that referred to the cam position sensor. Wouldn't run. Replaced the cam position sensor and still no go. Ohmed out the circuits (ground wire, sensor signal, 5v reference signal) and they all checked good. Pulled the water pump and the timing chain cover off and sure enough, the timing gears were wiped out. Several hours on that one.

OR we can talk about why you're angry with me.
And sometimes your vehicle's computer (ECU, ECM, PCM) can arbitrarily start throwing bogus codes. There are actually facilities who will diagnose and repair a malfunctioning computer. People often choose to go with remans, but I don't particularly trust most of them. -

You said that already.

I actually cannot find any record of that statement on this thread.
However, something to keep in mind is:
even if you suspect your computer is throwing bogus codes which are causing your CEL to illuminate, it is still good practice to INITIALLY troubleshoot as if the codes are legitimate.
Just throwing another computer at a CEL can be costly and nonproductive, and can ac actually result in more problems than you had to begin with.
Keep up the good work–you will get this figured out! -

Everyone else moved on from this topic but you keep bumping the topic. Get a life.

I remember working on a '97 Chevy C1500 with a 4.3 that had a CEL and the code translated to, believe it or not, "fuel tank pressure sensor circuit low voltage." The sensor is located in the tank, and that unfortunately required dropping the tank down (not completely pulling it out from underneath the vehicle, but still a bit of work without having a lift) to change the sensor. But this was a case where changing a sensor was the fix. However, it is not always that simple a solution. -

Can I tell you something? the title of this thread isn't really the topic.
I understand that you wanna stay on topic but the topic is really a scenario where I work for a car dealership. This thread topic is about me at a car auction looking for cars to buy and the sell from the marketplace. If I think the vehicle will sell, then I will make a bid to buy the vehicle

That is too bad; I had plans to discuss the ins and outs of changing O2 sensors. Does this mean you don't want to get into the dreaded P0320?
How about the P0118? -
