ok well my check engine light went on and i had a low idle. i took it to mechanic and he told me i needed new oxygen sensors. so i got em and had a friend install them (a mechanic.) neway---i still have the check engine light but im not really sure about the low idle cuz i havent driven the car much recently. but ive also had some starting problems. when i turn the key it sounds like its about to start... like the engine starts up and is turning but it never stops turning. it never gets in that final kick where u hear the exhaust come in... so, any ideas? can the problems be related?

Should my first step be a fuel system flush? I think a tune up may be in order as well :)
 
First step is to see what code you have stored. That is the first thing a mechanic should do. Once codes are resolved, clear the KAM (disconnect the battery for a few mins) and then reconnect the battery and start it up and let it relearn and flash any new codes.

Good luck.
