Just in case anyone else out there w/ <80k miles has seen a PO420 CEL
code..
I was getting that code and found by luck that the converter is warrantied
for 8yr/80k miles (may only be USA ? ). Anyway, for the $52 that they
charge for the screening (yeah, pretty much the same thing AutoZone does
for free.. hook it to an OBDII scanner), I got a new cat which the invoice
showed was about $950 for the part plus about $200 for labor.
I had about 77k miles on my car when I started seeing the CEL and heard
about the warranty. By the time they could verify the problem and get the
new cat ordered & installed I dropped the car off w/ 79,850 miles on it
$52 isn't too bad for a job that would have been over a grand just a few k
miles later..
