Plus, if they're bad, you're not getting full power out of the motor because the PCM isn't seeing correct numbers to correct for. I'll put holes in him!!

ANYWAYS, do you get a really strong smell, too, upon high accleration? (not that i'd know b/c i don't drive fast )....that's why i think i'm goin to need new cats pretty soon let us know if you find out what's wrong w/ yours! ~~Bonnie~~ Amazon Green 00 SVT Contour, #? of 2150, born 2/00 (bought 7-16-03)
