mechanicatheart Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Knock on the catalytic converter when its cold and listen for rattling. if it sounds solid check the wiring to your oxygen sensor downstream from the cat and if that looks good you most likely just need a new sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
