Here in uk When the engine light comes on and the fault code on a ford fiesta is P0420 you have to replace both lamda sensers with genuine ford and they cost 100 each. The after market ones are no good as the heaters go open circuit. I scraped my fiesta and replased it with a 2002 nissan micra k11 it cost 100 to buy. The nissan was written of and I got 500 for it. And I then bought 2007 vauxhall astra. And now I could be set to get 3000 damages for the accident which will GoD willing pay for a new central heating boiler. All things work togeather for good for those who love Jesus and are the called according to his purpose.

Oddly, just had catcon problems on both my vehicles. The 89 Blazer converter was stopped up (156k miles. Its so old the state doesnt check emissions on it, so it got a test pipe replacement. The 2001 Nissan catcon started rattling. The guts had broken loose from the shell, so it got a replacement cat at 149k miles (Its not old enough to be exempt from the emissions testing. 520 worth, but the car is in very good condition so it was worth it. 420 is about one payment on a new one. When the wheels fall off or the car ceases to be reliable, well get a newer used. Toyota

I replaced the cat on my old 93 Chev, 350. I thought it was going to cost a ton but it was only a couple of hundred to have my muffler guy weld it up properly. Zero, zip, nothing, nada on the smog check--perfect. When I took a look at it however, I was surprised how small it was. Then I thought about how long the original monster lasted--over 280k. I suspect the little guy is gonna punk out muy pronto. But, yo dog--how long can the old beast last? She clicking up at 300k pretty soon. So, good enough for the money, right?

Hi Scotty, I have a 2004 Subaru legacy with the 3. 0 H6 engine with around 90 thousand miles. Runs really smoothly apart from when Im slowing down, the automatic downshift from 4th to 3rd gear makes a jarring thud and shocks the entire car. This does not happen when It downshifts while Im accelerating or when I manually downshift from 4 to 3. Was doing intermittently and now doing it more often than not. Relatively reputable mechanic flushed transmission a few thousand miles ago. Any ideas appreciated.

Catalytic converters are easy to fix They get clogged up with this honeycomb gabage that builds up inside. What you have to do is unbolt it, beat on the sides a few times with a rubber mallet and then stick a really long screwdriver into it and break up the honeycomb garbage into chunks small enough that you can shake them out of the opening. Once you break them all up you shake them all out through the holes and once its empty you can put it back on the car and youve saved hundreds of dollars

Haha. my 1992 1JZ Supra had an engine rebuild last year & after a few days, it started stalling constantly. The builder was 700 miles away, so I took it to a local shop 3-4 times, they found nothing conclusive. Took it back to the builder after a year, and they found the brand new aftermarket high performance catalytic converter had grenaded & the chunks were getting stuck in the outlet, choking the car to death I guess they pushed it a bit too hard on the dyno during the tune.

Mr. Kilmer you might also note. A lot of times when a transmission goes out its due to running hot or hard because of trans. Problems. Such as clogged lines or cooler, torque converter, solenoids, and propper fluid level and maintenance. If not corrected no matter where you get your trans. Its not gonna last long. I suggest replacing and/or cleaning any lines and cooler. Also replace torque converter it will save your wallet and trans. In the long run.
