well,

just bought 03 lancer oz rally yesterday,ses light came on. Went to autozone,printed me out the code,and reset it. it came on again.

could be catlytic converter,engine misfire,large vacuum leak,engine oil leakage..

has anyone ever had this code and how much did it cost to get it fixed?

thanks

 

Its definitely a problem with the cat, might be the sensors on it, or the cat itself

 

Edit: double post, my bad...

 

what if it was problem w/ cat itself? How much would that cost or how serious is that if went unfixed for while? have appointment with my mits dealer for wednesday,gonna charge me $94 for diagnostics..it has 102k miles..

 

My friend thinks its the oxygen sensor on the exhaust..

 

Its prolly a good bet, its the sensor im talking about, so it can be that or the cat, about the cat, the price will be one for a new cat, and the installation, and if it ts the sensors, you might need to change em

 

Well,

I heard P0421 is a pretty common recall. Im not real crazy about going to the dealer,might try some local place instead..$95 just to diagnose what we probly already know it is?

what do you mean by, "the price will be one for new cat?" you mean 1,000? lol..hopefully dealer will do it free if recall..

 

DO A SEARCH!


been covered a hundred times. Theres a recall on your car.

 

So,i shouldnt take it to dealer right? just to charge me $100 for what i know it is..

 

once again, do a search.
if you have an open recall on your car, the reprogramming is free. Cat. converter replacement is free up to 100k miles.
