"Dead Cat" and ?s
Acura Integra '99
Ok, here is how it lays out.
I bought this car a couple of months ago and after a couple of days the engine light went on. Went to the mechanic and they said I had a dead Cat Converter or dead O2 sensor. So I got the O2 sensor changed for like $250 and he goes and resets the engine light. I give it 3 engine cycles and the damn light comes back on. I went back to these guys and told them what is going on and they revealed to me that the cat looked pretty new and aftermarket when they looked at it, they also told me the manufacture gives cats at 80k or 8 year waranty so the guy that I bought it from voided the waranty on the cat. SO, inconclusion it comes down to spending 1800 on a Acura Cat or is there an aftermarket cat that you guys know about that will decipate the waste efficently because I know this one isn't.
Q/A
I heave heard that Honda/Acura cars are like clockwork when it comes to maintaining them. Anyone have a maintence schedule that I should like by? Thanks.
