Service Engine Soon light comes on....

My Service Engine Soon light comes on and stays on now since yesterday. (i just bought this car, 97 se 5 speed with se security&conv pakcage 2 weeks ago with 100k miles .) i know that this gen maxima has the light coming on often when the computer isnt reset or something, and that people always tell me theyre fixing a oxygen sesnor switch easily. Could this be possible? a cheap switch needs to be fixed? the engine runs perfect.

... btw my 92se 5 spd's timing chain broke and ruined the vslves in that car at 255k miles. i still have my 89se auto with 194k .

thanx larry

you may want to post this in the 4th gen section but they will just lock it anyways b/c you need to either take the car to autozone and have the code pulled for free or read the 4th faq and learn how to read the codes.
