CEL and a bad CAT.
Well, the CAT on my 2000 Civic was shot so I gutted it out for now. It runs alot better and gets 28 to 35MPg without it. The CEL light was on before I did this due to the bad cat, and of course remains on after the gut... Where can I get a MIL/O2 eliminator to get rid of the CEL until I get another Cat?

Kind of thought so, but wanted to make sure... It burns a little on the rich side as of now, but my main O2 needs to be cleaned/replaced I'm sure due to the cat being backed up and fouling the upstream a bit...

I have a bosch sensor that is nearly new (5k miles). seems to make a car run slightly rich, but the last one I had lasted 110k miles beofre throwing a fit
I also have a barely used OBD2 OEM cat. 300 miles, was installed and taken off after my stupid CAI dropped the splash guard and sucked in some water. POOF #1 rod shats out the side of the block
PM me to make an offer.
