Techfella, thanks for the info but the code P0700 turned out to be my gas cap. Up here in Canada gas spiked up to $4.50/gallon and I've been putting in only a few gallons at a time hoping the price falls after the so called gas shortage we have is over. It was alledgedly caused by a refinery fire. I must have not tightened the cap properly. After about 5 on/off cycles of my engine, the engine light went off. I have no clue what the other codes were, but I won't worry if the light is off. At least these cars keep us learning.

$4.50/gal ouch! I'm in Chicago and we average $2.50 right now. I wish my problems boiled down to a gas cap.
Anyway, I'm glad I bought a ODB-II scanner, it does take the guess work out of trying to fix the car. It helped me track down a vacum problem and a faulty spark plug. I wish I knew more about the ABS code P1382, it simply says wheel speed sensor. There are four on the car and it could be anything between the computer to the sensor on one of the wheels. Max, if are still reading this thread, I would appreciate any insight. I inspected all the obvious stuff, wiring harness, brake pads, fluid levels, everything looks fine. The car brakes OK, but with the ABS light on means that safety feature is not operable.
FYI: I subscribed to AutozoneDIY.com which has proved helpful in sorting this out, but I'm a little lost on this problem.
I don't know if I can be much help. I WILL check my code book and svs manual (at work) and see if it better ID's the DTC location possibly. I'll let you know.

First let me say I wish I had never bought this damn car. I live in Chicago and have the worst time finding parts or service centers for my 04 Verona. Back in March I posted some O2 sensor questions and thanks to a few great posters I managed to order and replace two of the four with little trouble. But now it seems the problem is back and I also have issues with the "injector harness". The car running running rough at idle and acceleration speeds. I took it to the dealer and got a laundry list of needed repairs to the turn of $1300+. I'm sick to my stomach about all the problems and the extended warranttee I have is only covering the injector harness ($300). I think the dealer is jerking me a bit because they didn't want to deal with the warrantee company until I persisted. Other evidence is the ABS light is on and my code scanner says it's a wheel speed sensor, yet the dealer says nothing came up on the diagnostics. Then why is the ABS light on? Plus the wheels make a hoorible screetching noice at very low speeds. It's not the brakes because I had rebestos pads put on in June.
Anyway, I'm posting the list of repairs in hopes someone sees it and can offer some advice on what I can do myself vs. recommending the dealer do it. Bottom line is I don't have $1000 to pay for the repairs.
Injector wiring harness (thats being fixed under warrentee) $300
Vacume canister ($149)
Intake solenoid ?($51)
O2 sensors ($150 ea.)
Wheel senors (4) I have no idea which one(s) are faulty because the dealer said nothing is coming up on the diag.
Also are all the trouble code I got
P1382
P0305
P0306
P0032
P1443

How about another dealer in the area? Worth a try for some honest answers and warranty coverage maybe?
You've got a handle on the O2 sensors from before.
On those codes...I assume that you've already broken them all down. If not, let me know which one (one's) are still not ID'd, and I'll try and figure them out.
I don't like the sounds (literally) of the ABS / brake system. That needs priority attention, as I'm sure you feel the same way. Double check the caliper pistons, pads and rotors, even though recently installed w/new pads. Something is foul there.
We're here for ya! Hang in there and take it one problem at a time.

Thanks again for responding. Going to another dealer is the plan when I get the car back next week. I'm letting them fix the injector harness becuase the car is there already and it's covered by the warranttee.
Check this out, the service guy says ALL the O2 sensors are the wrong kind. If you remember I only replaced the two before the cat converter (which I did not tell him) but he insist all are the incorrect parts. I bought the car new so the parts I didn't replace should be OEM. Thats another reason I think their jerkin my chain. However, I am wondering if the Bosch universal O2 sensors I bought were incompatible? Can you point me to a place to buy OEM parts? I'm having a hard time finding things for the car.
Anyway here's the code breakdown from Alldatadyi.com
DTC P0031 Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Heater Low Voltage
DTC P1382 Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction (dealer said nothing came up on this, but I found it in my test)
DTC P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected
DTC P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
DTC P1443 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Malfunction (stuck in Open Position) I wonder is this the "intake solenoid" he referred to?
Did that, rather than hassle w/the local dealer / trip.
On the O2's not being the correct ones per the dealer...not sure how he came up w/that. Part # or visual ID? FWIW, I believe those area OEM sensors are the same except for the wiring portion (diff lengths on my V-6 for instance) thus diff part #'s.

Thanks for the parts lead, them seem to have everything I need. As to the O2 sensor thing, the service manager did a visual ID and said they were the wrong ones because I did have to crimp the original plugs on the new ones. But again I only replaced two of the four so he's still right. Anyway, I'm just waiting for them to finish the harness repair, should get the car back next Tues or Wed. I'll keep you posted.
