SOURCE: 98 VW Beetle 2.0L, Check engine light with OBD Code PO118

BTW - if you have less than 100,000miles you might be able to have your cat replaced under warranty by the dealer. In Canada it's 160,000km.

SOURCE: VSC, Trac off, and check engine lights are on

I took mine to the dealer to find out why the VSC, Trac off, and check engine lights are on. They said it is the camshaft position sensor, it retards the timing, and causes it to lose power when climbing. Also, 1 of every 30 to 50 scions have this problem. Sounds like it should be recalled for this. The cost of replacement is about $500 bucks. Get your dry belts and valve cover gaskets changed at the same time to avoid labor charges later. I couldn't believe the dealer charges $89 bucks an hour for labor these days, Rediculous. At least it comes with a a 12 month unlimited mileage warrenty.

It sounds like you have either a lean or rich condition ocurring,could be exuast leak,vac leak,leaking fuel preasure regulator,cat convertor.At this point would go to dealer for diagnosis.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country with

there are no codes that say replace O2 sensors,or remove converter,Thats just somebody's guessing,When it says O2 sensor that tells the mechanic to look for trouble in that area,wiring or faulty readings,And there are four O2 sensors.

Hi, I have a 98 Honda Accord Ex V6 that showed the P0420 code and I was told that the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. So I replaced it and the check engine light came on with the P0401 code. I...

The error code p0420 does not rise only due to faulty catalytic converter but may also rise due to one of following reason:

1. Faulty rear O2 sensor

2. Damaged O2 sensor wiring

3. Exhaust leak

The error code p0401 indicates faulty Engine Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve. The remedy to the problem is:

a. Replace EGR valve

b. Repair damaged wiring of EGR valve

c. Clean the EGR valve tubing

Yes I would get a second opinion. The trouble code only tells the mechanic what to check, not what to replace. So the O2 sensor could have been faulty, or it could be something else. The original sensor may have been ok.

I have a 2004 ford taurus that has 123000 miles. The engine light recently came on and it has started to vibrate when its stopped at lights or running idle. I went to pepboys and had the engine light...

Hello, Your Codes indicate that on Bank 1 your first O2 sensor is stuck on a Rich setting. The seond Code is showing your Catalytic converter on the same Bank 1 is not working very good.

Your Catalytic may recover once you fix the problem with the O2 sensor. This would mean replacing the Sensor. Once you change the part, have the onboard computer cleared with a scanner or disconnect the NEG terminal of the Battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect.

Have the autoparts man show you the special socket which may be needed to remove and install the Sensor and the location of the sensor. Prices for Catalytic converters have come down since they were first invented. Unlike a muffler, the Catalytics can be reused from a Salvage vehicle if you can find one. A site called Car-Parts.com can enable you to request used Salvage parts from many Salvage yards including the price, condition, and all the contact info you need.

I hope my solution is very helpful to you.

Serveral weeks ago my service engine light came on so I took my Endeavor to the dealer and they said it was randomly misfiring so I should replace the spark plugs. Since I was at 97,000 miles that seemed...

This code indicates that the catalytic converter is not working well enough. The dealer installed the plugs in hope that maybe the engine would run cleaner and not load the cat so much with new plugs installed. Bottom line, you need a new catalytic converter, but be sitting down when they give you the price. I would see if I could get warranty on this as it is mandatory in some areas.

Po420 code monte carlo ls 2001

PO420 code is for catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 1) Usually it means that it is time for a new catalytic converter on bank number 1. Cylinder bank number 1 is always the bank with the number 1 spark plug in it.

Flashing check engine light 1999 Subaru

Any time your check engine light is flashing this indicates an engine misfire that has the potential to damage your catalytic conveter. A diagnostic trouble code has been stored in the vehicles onboard computer that will confirm the engine misfire. Continued driving may ruin your very expensive catalytic converter located in your front exhaust pipe.
Good luck, I hope this answers your question.
