1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24, 119871 miles, 2.4l engine. I have an engine code of P1333. Tried to have it checked at Auto Zone and they told me it was a dealership code and couldn't tell me what it meant. I had my catalytic converter replaced, and the next day (after about 70miles or so), the check engine light came on. Would like to know what this code means, and how to correct the problem. Thanks!

Are you sure that isn't a p1133? Get it checked again.

Was the converter a universal or a direct fit?

I'm very positive, but I'll have it checked again. I was told by the mechanic that it was a direct.

I can not find any info on that one. I will say that I have seen several bad computers due to the location and the corrosion getting into them.
