MT NESTER Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I was told by the dealer that this usually means the catalytic converter is bad. Is this true? How expensive to replace? Any options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbs Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I was told by the dealer that this usually means the catalytic converter is bad. Is this true? How expensive to replace? Any options? The code says the system efficiency is bad. I don't know if that tranlates into a bad converter. Have you ever had the O2 sensors replaced? Cats can cost $1500. Take a look at this site (below) and see if these guys can help you. They are big into the OBDII system, what the codes mean and how better to trouble shoot. http://www.obdii.com/forums/ubbthreads.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honda91chris Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 1500$ ? What are they made of? Gold?>_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbs Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It might seem crazy but the cat for my T-100 was $1300 from the dealer. I can only imagine the factory cost for some fancy ride. I did find an aftermaket cat the other day but it was still over $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyHondaNismo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's true, Cats will cost anywhere from 500-1800 from dealer, and no its not made of gold, if you must know...its made of platinum. otherwise, yes, there are those cheap universal cats that you can find at autozone or kragen, but goodluck with those. about the P0420 code, its not the Cat, like the other guy said, the cat should last the life of the car, its forsure your O2 sensor...its very common for honda's, i've owned many honda's and fixed hundreds of hondas's.

Kastigir Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 A PO420 is #1 Oxygen sensor. Should be in the manifold, before the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
