Default check engine light

hey everybody,
i have an 02 accent with about 71000 miles on it. the CEL came on last week so i changed the O2 sensors and the light is still on. about 2 months ago i changed the plugs and wires on it but nothing else. should i just take it to shop?
also when i back out of my driveway and put it in Drive it takes a second for it to engage. is that something else i should ask at the shop?
thanks in advance
kirk

Trouble codes do not clear themselves, they have to be erased by the scanner.

Did you check the trans fluid? Do a fluid flush?

Take it to Autozone for a free code scan, write down the codes, and ask them to clear your CEL. Don't let them diagnose your problem and sell you parts. Report back here for further information.
