Hi, my check engine light has been on for awhile, so naturally when I went for inspection I failed the report said for emmisions and the code was for my exhaust system, took it the mechanic and he looked it up said the code was for the catalytic converter they also put in new o2 sensors. Mechanic told me to wait about 48 hrs b4 having it reinspected because the new parts had to cycle through. I left the shop check engine light was off later on in the evening after driving about 100 miles for the day my light came back on. Why is this happening could there be something else wrong?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

to advise on this I will need to know what the new code is, are you able to get a scan done by the same mechanic with out cost?

I will find out when I take the car back to the mechanic in the morning (it's 2am my time and the light came back on at around 10pm), hopefully there are no new codes but if there are I will post what he finds.

OK, I will get on to it as soon as it flags up, but you may not get my response for a while due to the time difference,
