My engine is running either too ?

i have changed the spark plugs and changed the ignition coils to see if that will work( at first it was saying that i had a miss fire) now they are saying it might be the oxeygen sensor or the mass air flow sensor. it is a 2001 chevrolet prizm. how can i find out which sensor it is so that i don't waste money it is almost 400 to get all 3 sensors ( there are two oxygen sensors to change)My engine is running either too ?
If its a 2001, and still running poorly it should be throwing a check engine light. All vehicles after 1996 are OBD-2. Have the code read for free at an Autozone or Advance and go from there. My engine is running either too ?
Its not necessarily the o2 sensor. You may want to have your mass airflow meter cleaned. Sometimes if those two sensors don't %26quot;agree%26quot;, it will throw a code for the o2 when its not really the problem.

I seriously don't trust auto mechanics. I didn't know chevy made 2001 prizms. You should start looking for a new car if it's already giving you troubles. How many miles are on this car?My engine is running either too ?
run a test on the computer and see what codes come up.
