What year? Here's a link on how to read the codes yourself. No scan tool needed, just a paper clip.

We have some ideas but less data than the mechanic that threw parts at it. What year is it? What exhaust system is on it, stock or aftermarket? Any other mods? It could be as simple as a vacuum hose or as big as a clogged EGR passage, IF its the same code as before.
