Well, my car started acting weird 3 weeks ago. My friend Jessica and I was driving, and started notice that the car didn't go up to speed to 60 but was pushing hard at 5k rpm even though the gas pedal wasn't press down all the way....at the same time the a/c and stereo wasn't able to be turn on. (note: my car has 35k miles)
A few days later the "service engine light" came up, i took it to the local dealer and told me it was the catalytic convertor. THey said they couldn't repair it right now but will order it and that it was ok to drive around since I have work.
Between the time the order was being shipped and my car being repaired, there was a knocking noise when i turn on the a/c fan up then when i pass a car on the highway, going up to speed hitting up to 4-5k rpm, there is this spraying noise. I thought it was due to the catalytic convertor so i wasn't worried about it.
I took my car in and got it repaired, the knocking noise when a/c fan is at full power (4) is gone and the service light is off. I thought everything is fixed until I had to pass a car on the highway....the spraying like noise was still there. I check under to car to see if they did change the catalytic convertor, i have my doubts since the spraying sound hasn't been fixed.
The convertor looks the same, it has some scrapes like the old one, maybe i'm looking at something different. Maybe someone witha 9g can post a picture of theirs..
Anybody have a TSB related to anything to this? I'm planning to take it back to the dealer early morning
