Is it running OK?


Yeah its running OK. Which makes me think that there isn't an air leak. Wouldn't the car jump or not pick up right when i speed up?

If the car had a big air leak it would be all f-ed up and jumpin around.

First of all try clearing the codes and see if they come back.

Then, if they come back, and it seems to be running OK, I would think its the O2 sensors that are tripping out the computer. The other possible causes would make your car run rough.

How is your gas mileage? Thats usually a sign of bad 02's as well.

Its a good idea to get a haynes or bentley manual on these, a code reader is a good investment as well.

Panda said it could be bad MAF too, although that would usually mess the car up pretty good as well.
