theres always an outside chance that your cat is failing, do you still have the stocker on?

 

true.. cats get glogged over the years..

 

well, im guessing his **** is straight through, but they dont actually get clogged so much as the honeycomb falls apart and breaks down. can cause the machine to bog and then start to miss.

 

i dont remember the specifics but my bf just got header back repleaced with 2-1/4 piping and a high flow cat and the guy at the shop said it was all clogged up

 

carbon depo? hes got a hyundai anyway right? it was proly clogged with parts of the engine.

im thinking that a clogged cat is symptoms of a greater problem though. anyway, well see how it goes.

oh, btw joel, the humidity around here lately has had me VERY doggy, i thought at first my clutch was slipping, but i examined my RPMs very carefully, and they seem ok...so now thats itscooleddown myperformance is better, and im abandoning that idea.

 

yea i used to say the same think that his car was a piece but its pretty fast.. hasnt fallen apart yet either....not to mention its not easy making up for(pre owned cars) someone elses years of neglect to the general mantainence of a car....... as for the cat is was carbon deposit crap. i looked at the old one it was pretty gross..

 

Like Blake said, replace the pcv valve. It's like 2 bucks. To check it, just pull it out, and shake. If it rattles, it's good. If it doesn't, or it sounds sticky but still rattles, replace it.

 

eveeryone get ready for a stupid question, where the hell is my pcv valve? pease dont laugh

 

there's a hose coming out of the intake manifold that goes through the manifold, and under the manifold... that's where it is.

have you done a tune up lately? including the spark plugs and wires? cap and rotor?
