I paid a hefty bill at the repair shop trying to get this fixed. I finally replaced the O2 sensor aft of the cataylic converter and the rough idiling and sluggish acceleration was cured. It still seems rough at speed (65 and higer) and wont accelerate as good at that speed. The service engine light wont go off. I checked the owners manual, it said to check it after burning a fank of fuel. How do I get it to turn off?

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on. Then when the right part is repaired, the light will eventually turn of, or immediatly turn off, depending on the part.
