He scared cheap-o me by saying it could also be the MAP sensor. Anyhow, upon letting him know of the 8yr/80k mile warranty on the Cats., (thanks for the info. didn't have the manual as I bought the car used so I couldn't verify it) which he had to verify cause he thought it was 3yr/36k miles, he took it in. Well, after a few days, he let me know the Cats were not clogged but were not working as intended. Ford will pick up the tab and I should have a new Cat. installed by today (1 wk later). Thanks for all the info. and hope this helps someone else out there.
haha i STILL have this code.......and have yet to get it fixed,
was the end result the cat, or the 02 sensor?
