We need to know what code(s) is prompting the CEL. Once you get a scanner on it, we can help more.

LOL,..Yea me to.. I wanted to buy 2 others before this car,..but they got sold after being on those lots for several months, I get interested and they sold them both within a day or so of my decision to buy,So this time with all the info its either buy it or wave good bye So I bought it,..!!

results are kinda in on the PPI,..I had done today,..Solid check engine light,.is 02 sensors,.it just passed emissions a week prior, bad motor and tranny mounts or will be soon and I have a smokey oil smell or burnt oil smell,they said spark plug tubes are leaking on exhaust. ??

O2 sensors and Spark Plug Tubes are easy and relatively cheap fixes. You should be doing a happy dance if those are the only significant findings ! :dance:
Enjoy the car and post a photo or two! Congrats!
