    1999 Escalade repairs

    Because of rough running, sluggish uptake I had the codes read ( it was time for the tune-up anyway) and they said I needed spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, and an O2 sensor was bad.  I purchased all these but the man who read the codes forgot to tell me I could have a print-out of the readings so I don't know which sensor was bad.  Now with everything except the sensor replaced the code reader only says that # 6 is misfiring...nothing about the sensor.  The service engine light was staying on but now is only on intermittantly. It is still exhausting smoke smelling like gas.  Is there a way to tell if the O2 sensors are bad and which ones?  What can I do about the #6 misfiring?  I really need a next step not involving taking it to the dealer. Just before all this starting happening the A/C compressor froze up and was replaced, the power steering pump bolt came out and had to be fixed then the hoses to it had to be replaced.  There was a leak found in the radiator because I smelled a funny smell in the car. When I got it back from that repair it went back and they replaced the temp sensor.trying to fix the service engine soon light. HELP!

    The O2 sensor code could have been erased when all of the codes were read, and in order to pinpoint a failed O2 sensor, you'll just have to wait for the code to come back on. As far as the #6 cylinder misfire is concerned, I would take it back to where you had the spark plugs and wires replaced because something could either be installed wrong or not working properly.
