There's something wrong with your catalytic converter. I've heard that they have a warranty on them. Have a local honda dealership check it out, tell them your converter is setting the check engine light off. It's not normal but it's a common problem.

[PO420-Code 67]

Don't quote me on this but I thought the warranty on a converter was 7 years or 80,000 miles.

GReddy Techs told me that you change the cat around 90k or so. I got the same code and is normal for high mileage cars.

I get that code all the time on my highflow cat. I can't afford to get a new one right now, so in the spring I'm going to invest and get a carsound cat. I hear for a highflow cat they don't give you many problems, and they also have the bung for the O2 sensor.

I got mine replaced 2 months ago under warranty. They said that there is a 80K mile warranty on it, so if I were you, I'd get it done now.

Thanks again for the advice. I just called the Honda dealer and there gonna set up a appointment. What should I look for and what parts will be replaced ? I do not have a purchased warranty, but understand this is a factory warranty. Will this cost me anything? Hope they don't wanna try some sort of monkey business
