Help with estimating repair work...
Can you guys tell me the cost of having the following things done at a dealership please...thanks
1. SWPS replaced(steering wheel position switch)
2. 2 front oxygen sensors replaced
3. some kind of check valves(one behind the intake manifold...manifold needs to be removed?...(one check valve sticking sometimes/not very often though and one starting to stick?)WTF?
mechanic said its causing "service engine soon" light to come on...he said it was in the history and only happened a couple of times
He also said the SWPS is probably causing the "active handling" code to be thrown once in a while(I already knew this from the forum)
Thanks for your input...

I'll review:
(Price of parts) + (Time to change parts * $120) = approximate total

This might be the AIR check valve. If so, it's worth it to try the low buck, at home fix....On the LH side of the engine compartment, there's a rubber hose, approximately 3/4" in diameter. Adjacent to the alternator, there is a point where this hose has a plastic connector. Gently seperate the hose from the connector, spray about 1/3 of a can of mass airflow sensor cleaner into the hose, pointing the flow toward the rear of the car. Then take the car for a spitited ride. Cost....about $5.

thanks for the unwanted sarcasm and waste of a post...you are a real ***.et to the forum
I just found out that I can get the 2 valves from a local wholesaler for $23 each. they are ac/delco parts...actually identical to the gm parts(even has the delco number and the gm number on the package)...
I also just found out that the other 2 issues( oxygen sensors and swps) are covered under my warranty so all is good...I originally just wanted to get some idea as to what it would cost from members who had the same work done...thanks to the members who posted and tried to help me
Moderator please close this post due to more potential idiots...
