Well I would imagine so since the post converter sensor affects nothing in your engine like tezas said. It's not like it's hooked up to the SRS and your air bags could deploy at any time, haha.

My PO420 code has been on for 30k miles. Relax.

They are the bosch universal ones. I read after installing that those aren't the best to get, but they are the cheapest. Anyway, I am now wondering if my cat is bad and what I should do about these stinkin o2 sensors. Please help me fix this problem so it won't come back again.

Thanks, Andrew
I had the same problem with my 2000 Honda Civic EX automatic. P0420 COULD be bad 02 Sensors OR it could be the Catalytic converter! I replaced my 02 Sensor and light stayed on. So replaced the Catalytic converter and Cleaned out both 02 Sensors and problem solved!! Civic EX Cats are cheap to replace ($270). Civic LX and DX and CX have catalyctic converter connected to exhaust manifold as ONE PART and that alone costs $960 at hte DEALERSHIP!! Take it form a used car dealer, I've had many of these.

Shut your hole boy and go get your passy. This fit of yours is going nowhere. Everyone is here for help and knowledge on their fav. Hondas. Tis better to bring back an old thread than start a new one. So explain to me son, what your prob? Can't wait to hear it .

Anyway, im getting a P0420 code on my 98 Accord EX and am currently looking for a soil cat that will not throw any codes once installed. I understand Magnaflow direct fits are good. Are Bosal direct fits any good aswell? ....and please, no rage and/or idiocy with replies.

wow, what a way to welcome yourself to the community what's a passy? Who the hell do you think you are being an e-thug? There is no better way to alienate yourself from a forum than to type in the tone your are typing.

if you would have read the whole thread and my comment from 9/21, you might realize that my post could help you. might want to try out my suggestion first before you get a new cat.

o i'm harmless; however, sometimes one tone deserves another. But as the saying goes, 2 wrongs don't make a right. A passy is a pacifier by the way....lol. i'll be trying your suggestion out and am thinking ahead just in case the cat does need to be replaced. Thanks for the post.
