Ok...so I'm gonna go ahead and take off the clamps and check the sensor. How can I check the catalytic converter?

 

You really cant yourself.

 

OK, here are some pics I took after removing the filter, which was actually kind of loose. Also, there is a spot on the filter that probably doesn't affect anything but I thought I'd include it in the pic...

btw, that avatar is ****ing awesome...haha

 

LOL thanks.

The pics dont work. Are you saying the black box was loose? Or just the filter? If it was just the filter then its okay.

 

404 not found

The pictures are not available.

are you having any performance issues, such as sputuring, bogging, shaking through the powerband?

 

Links are fixed, sorry.

By the black box, you're not referring to the hose...? Yeah, just the filter was loose.


ComposeEvo,

When I first started driving it two days ago there were very noticeable performance issues, some of it was caused by the tires, which have been replaced. Also, there was a slight miss and stutter at about 65+mph, but I believe that was caused by a loose connection from one of the spark plugs. My friend noticed it, fixed it, and said that one of the cylinders wasn't even firing. I only drove it home from there, but I didn't notice the miss/stutter at all.

 

I think after re setting the ECU and after about 200 miles the car should learn how to run again.. it should be fine. By the way.. dont go wide open throttle for the first 15 mins of running after the ECU is reset.

 

Maybe this is how it's supposed to be, but this doesn't make much sense to me...look at this picture

Is there supposed to be something fitting into the that hose on the bottom?

 

AAAH IM SO STUPID. Its a 420a. They dont have MAF sensors. (the black box) sorry!

Well i would reset the ECU and see how that goes first
