Yep, back again with my nightmare 2000 RX300.

So at the end of October, I replaced my battery, about 3 weeks ago, I replaced my Alternator, and last weekend, I replaced O2 sensor, Bank 2 Sensor 1 - after replacing the O2 sensor, the CEL stayed off for almost a week... then this morning, when I got to work, the battery light and the CEL came on, and the radio is dying for lack of power.

Any thoughts?

Have the charging system tested and look for what could be causing drain if any.

So turned out the new alternator I was sold went bad... Replaced that yesterday ... now to see what CELs pop over the next week....
SO darned frustrating!

It comes down to level of risk taken, keeping in mind the $$$ you spend.

perhaps, or it could just come down to how long I'll let myself be nickle and dimed to death for this automobile... I don't see any point at which I'll be able to just drive it and not worry about whether I'm going to have to sink another $200+ into it with my next check.
I know that I'm going to have to replace another of my O2/AF sensors... P0136 has popped up again. I think that's the one farthest back on the exhaust... the one with the flange after the second Cat, am I right?
And that's not to mention the fact that I think something in my rear suspension is going...
but that's for another post.
