Check/replace temp II sensor (side of thermostat housing, blue, < $10).
Check/replace O2 sensor (get the generic replacement, which is much cheaper,
from one of the on-line vendors).

Bentley has procedures for checking them.  If you are electrically gifted,
consider making a Digitool.  See instructions at:
