Attempted to give jump, from wrong posts and blew power steering fuse, less than twenty four hours later, tire pressure monitor came on, next day engine light. Not sure of code but AutoZone guy puts it on up comes catalytic converter and EGR something like fuse or valve. Could catalytic converter be bad with no signs. No overheating no stalling, nothing.

Yes a catalytic converter code can pop up at anytime they set a code for low efficiency.

Is it an immediate fix? Or can it go for about three months? My poor financial planning.

You can put it off the code is just letting you know the catalytic converter is not working like it should.

Eventually it could become clogged and have a lack of power and possibly die.
