i was driving yesterday morning to my boys house, and I started thinking to myself..."I've had this car for a year, and i've done 30,000 miles and the car never threw a code at me, ive had no problems" .....

then i knocked on <span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'>plastic</span> wood<span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'> grain trim</span>


4 hours later... i get a code thrown at me lol

pepboys wanted $100 for "engine diagnostics"
autozone was free, but the fat motherfucker couldnt find the connector so he went back inside saying my car doesnt have one , :roll: i looked under the dash and found it.

anyways its a p0421 code, o2 sensor right?

Well if it can wait I'll bring my Scantron to the meet and we can check it then.

my book says p0421 = warm-up catalyst efficiency below threshold 7


... the 7 is a little superscript 7. i dunno what this means, just throwin it out there thats what the book says, good luck!

The o2 mechanical fix or o2 sim will take the code away.
