First off 2001 Accord LX F23A1 Auto

Check engine light lit up at about 35K, so I took the car to vatozone to have a scan tool put on it. Two codes came up, for the same thing, "low catalyitic efficiency"

So I heard that dirty O2 sensors could be the problem, so I removed them both to clean them, the one downstream of the cat was carboned, and had small particles of crap in it (they looked to be metallic) I reinstalled them and the light was still on till the next day when it turned off on its own. I thought I had fixed it till today when the light came back on again...

Soo...how long does the emissions warranty on my car last? What should I do, replacing the cat is gona be $$$ or I could delete it and get a MIL eliminator kit (if there are any for my cars)

What to do..

 

i think the emission is 80k on that generation of accord, but don't take my word for it, ask your local dealer with the vin number.

I'm pretty sure you are correct.
