I just had timing belt and water pump replaced on my vehicle, within 1 hour of me pulling the car out of the mechanics lot, the engine light came on?? I immediatley took my vehicle back in, where they tested it and they are saying it could just be a computer glitch or the O2 sensor and not to worry about it, than sent me on my way?? I have never had the engine light on since I have owned vehicle except for after this repair,the light went off for the remaining of the day and now 1 full day after repair light remains on and will not go off?Do I take this back again to the mechanic and if so what do I have them look for, and do I ask them if something could not have been connected or reset after repair?

    If in fact the code is for an 02 sensor problem I really doubt they did anything to cause it . In fact if your car needed a timing belt it was near the end of the life expectancy for the 02 sensors anyways. But in any case I can not think of a scenario that an 02 sensor problem would be cause by anything to do with a timing belt replacement.
