does this mean the cat's O2 sensor is bad? or the cat itself is bad? thank you!

 

Is your car a '97 model with the stock manifold/cat? Does it look like this?

I think that all '96-97 model years non-vtec models have this manifold and its covered under the extended emissions warrranty (10yr-150K). These manifolds also have a tendancy to crack where the 2-3 primaries meet up.

It's the catalytic converter not the o2 sensor.

 

yes its a 97, completely stock, and thats what it looks like. should i go to Honda and have them fix it (assuming its under warranty)?

 

bump

 

anyone?

 

means u need a new kitty

 

all cats are at least 8yr/80k, some can be more though

 

Yes its under warranty.

96-97 10yr/150K

98-00 8yr/80K

It will be fixed for free.

 

yay! thank you!
