My car wont pass smog I have replaced exhaust manifold gask. cad.converter donut still wont pass what is left as far as exhaust replacement

code p 0133 is the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)1 bank 1 so response --no response or--no signal=== causes wiring--heating inoperative---HO2S -- o2 sensor ( oxygen sensor
the HO2S is in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter and the O2 sensor is after the cat converter
the code p 2096also refers to the HO2S --wiring short to positive --cat converter--exhaust leak ( possible the flex section in the exhaust pipe before the cat converter

run the fault codes as it could be anything from heated and ordinary oxygen sensors to EVAP to EGR problems
All affect the smog results

A traditional exhaust donut style will not seal on this type of exhaust you either need to clean manifold and exhaust flang better or replace piece that is warped

It should have 2 sensors sensor 1 (bank1) or sensor 2 (bank2) also lnkown as upstream or downstream,one before the catalytic converter and one after..

Most modern vehicles have 2 catalytic converters, there may be one located at the exhaust manifold, or be what's called a resonator. The resonator will look almost like a cherry bomb muffler, this is a crucial part of exhaust emissions.

Some cars don't need donuts. Look at the exhaust manifold and check if it is coned shaped. If it is then you don't need the donut gaskets.

You may have to replace the converter. When the converter go bad it generally would transmit black smoke. This would prevent you from passing vehicle smog inspections.

Hello and thank your for choosing fixya.com. As far as your car being hard to start in the morning, you may have a dying batter.Look on the battery for a date (which indicates the date of purchase) There should be a whole on the month, and day of purchase. If there isn't any, have the batter tested. You may need to replace it. Also, make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. Make sure that the wires on the starter are secure and as clean as possible as well. Check for frayed or damaged wiring. For the exhaust, it sound like you need to replace the donut in the manifold (exhaust). It's fairly simple to really so long as you can get to it. Disconnect the exhaught pipe from the manifold (should be 2-4) bolts (usually 3) and take out the old donut (if any of it's left) making sure there are nothing left of in the exhuast pipe. Put the new donut in, and bolt the pipe back to the manifold (see repair manual or parts dealer for torque specifications).
I hope this information deem useful in the repair of your Honda. I thank you for choosing fixya.com. Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments, or need further assistance.

it depends if they took the manifold off to do the cat converter job
If they did it is their repair cost as the job was not completed properly
if that was not necessary then they may have broken the flex bit just from the manifold

well nanifold is part of the emission and the egr repair both and save time re e testing it! you want it to go through first time with the above wrong it wont pass!!
