Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General why me

today i took the car to autozone cuz the cel was flashing. and they told me that cylinders 3 and 4 were misfireing. so i am going to replace the wires and plugs. now the shakeing is not the tires cuz i took the tires from my contour and put them on her car and it still happend. my car dont shake. i am thinking cv joints also. and the catalyc converter is pluged up so that could also be why it is so slow. i dont know if it could make the car shake. o and if i cut the catalyc converter off and replaced it with a stright pipe. would that be leagle. someone said it is not. i dont know i will try to figer it out i will let you know if i need help. thanks.

the tours and stiques have three cats. two pre-cats and one main cat. the main cat is probably what is clogged. I think that as long as you have good emissions then you can take either the pre-cats out or the main cat.


I could be wrong on all of this. But I do know about the emissions thing. As long as emissions are good they could give a care less.

I know for sure that removing catalytic converter is illegal. At least in Connecticut it is. No repair shop will remove it, they are stricked.
