    Help! C.Converter/o2 issues

    Chip, can you confirm that you had a CAT code and not an 02 code, but you replaced the 02 and it erased the CAT code? I have the same code saying a Cat is bad and I'm about to buy a new cat. A new 02 sensor is much cheaper than even a universal cat!

    How hard is it to replace the cats?

    Following up here... It's going to be the same price ordering two universal cats and having them installed as me buying the whole magnaflow assembly and installing it myself. Am I at any disadvantage to getting universal cats? Any suggestions?

    Can you help me with OBDII code: P0430 ?

    I have a scan tool that tells me volts for each sensor. Any idea what should they be reading?

    Can you help me with OBDII code: P0430 ?

    Is there any way to test the 02 sensor and see if it's bad rather than test the cat and if it's good assume the cat is bad?

    I picked up two regulators from radio shack today for $4. I first hooked up a multimeter and the drls had spikes up to 15.5v. Hooked up the regulators and it's stuck at 12.2v. Hopefully 15 minutes of work and $4 keeps my LEDS fresh!

    P0300 Battle

    bummer. I'm not familiar with the earlier stuff. Does this help? http://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/gm_fuel_injector_4.3L_5.0L_5.7L/spider_fuel_injector_1.php I'm somewhat talking out of my ass here, just letting you know what I went through. On a 2000 if you got a new spider it would have...

    P0300 Battle

    I had the same problem...ran fine except at idle. It ended up being a bad fuel pressure regulator. I have a 2000 but if you pull the vacuum off the regulator you should not smell gas. If it does, replace it. Don't wait a year like I did, I'm now getting a bad cat code because it ran rich for...

    My depos gave me the same first impression. As soon as I adjusted them it wasn't noticeable.

    How hard is it to replace the cats?

    I've been celebrating for two straight weeks after fixing my random misfire and a new code popped up. It looks like I have bad cat from neglecting the misfire for so long. Around town it drives fine but at highway speed it bogs a little. Order ONE universal cat and replace it the side that is...

    Who has the final solution for DRLs?

    From what I've read, you're very lucky! 3157 LEDs are what I have in right now. I do have a spare set because I figured I'd burn through these, I'm just hoping there's an answer out there and I can use them after everything is good to go.
