I think I hate... 850

....this thing.
855T, bought from a friend of a friend, as soon as I bought it, needed new main airtake hose, plus a few more hoses. Now, pulling 3 codes, NOx sensor, O2 sensor, and running too rich. Mechanic told me turbo had to be replaced b/c of oil in the main airtake hose, y'all told me this is normal, but as soon as that was fixed, all of the above problems came about (NOx, etc.)
Had a '97 850 (w/ only 60 k) that ran like a baby, and a '94 960 that, after some care, was my little baby again.
Cannot drive a Honda (I'm now a volvo freak), any advice w/ the O2, NOx, and running rich deal keeping the check engine light on? Are they all related? No emissission tests out here in western CO, but, is it hurting my engine?
Gracias,
-Nick

Have to admit, I love the room for skis+3 persons in the car.
