So my CEL came on

I know post the code and I will receive the help that is desired. But What were the chances that I threw the code at exactly 161,000 miles. seems a little fishy to me. I'm sure it is a sensor of some sort. but it is killing me to that my Yota is holding a code for me. and I am stuck up here in the office with a paper clip in my hand. Arrgh

Whats so fishy about throwing it at exactly 161,000 miles?? It had to throw it somewhere. Could have been 160,999. Or 161,001. But it threw it at 161,000 miles. Just a random mileage number.

I suppose, it was just that I had my HG and ful tune up not even 2500 miles ago. Right after words the stealer calls me up and says I'm do for 160K mile tune up. then right as it turns 161,000 I watched it , it threw the code excatly at the same time. Just seems funning. Like the computer told it told it I didn't get the tune up. I'm sure there is something, don't get me wrong bad sensor or something all speculation at this point. just seems a little funny is all
I'll post the code when I get it, and

I dont think your cumputer is smart enough to know you didnt get a tune up, not in a 95 Runner. I worked in a mercedes shop, and they know EVERYTHING. Oil changes, tune ups, flat tires, everything, but in a 95 Runner, I wouldnt think your computer knows anything really....

If a code 21 is a bad o2 sensor.

Then whats a simoltaneous code 25 & 26 which is a rich condition, lean condition... I thought that was an o2 sensory. I haven't bought one yet. Dealer quoted me $105 for an o2 sensor but I just don't have the $$ right now.
