Pull the battery cable (either one) for 30 minutes and the code should clear and check engine light should disappear. If it comes back the next time you start car then there is an issue.

Thanks Skip, I kind of figured it was something electrical.

Thanks everyone for your help.

We brought it to a mechanic yesterday and he said it's either the catalytic converter or 02 sensor, but that if it's the cc, it won't affect the car in any way, it simply means that it would fail an emissions test.

We're going to bring it back to him to see if it's just the 02 sensor otherwise we're going to leave the cc for now - too much money and we're leaving the state on Saturday.

O2 sensors are common failures - only $20 or $30 from any auto parts store and you can usually replace them yourself.

BTW, a "Rebuilt" on the title (here in Fl) normally means the car was damaged in excess of insurance value and written off as a "Total" by the insurance company. Doesn't necessarily mean much other than (for example) possible body damage was estimated to exceed book value. It may have been repaired successfully but usually means auto insurance is more difficult to obtain or certain insurance options are not available.
