Hello,
My name is Kawsar. I just bought a 2002 Honda accord. It has a check engine light on. I went to six different local mechanics. Three of them told me I need to replace the catalytic converter and the other three told me I need to change the Oxygen Sensor...The code was retrieve was P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)...at this point i really don't know what should i do like if i spend money on cat or oxygen sensor....If i need to replace the oxygen sensor, should i replace front one (upstream) or should i replace the rear one (downstream) or should I replace both. The car engine gets really hot and even the dash board....
Also, I failed the inspection due to OBD System- Readiness
Status are:
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS - NOT READY.
EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM - NOT READY.
Any good advice or suggestion will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Respectfully submitted,
Kawsar
