    MIL CMD means military command. You're going to have to go to Fort McPherson in Forest Park and find a drill sergeant and get him to verbally command your ECU to work in the way that would pass the Emissions Test.

    Solved. Later, QD.

    And he's pretty much going to have to buy one new as (I believe) it's illegal to sell used ones. Later, QD.

    EBAY has cheap cats!

    get one from either RPM,Full line Exhaust,Georgia reman Cats, or dealer!

    Do not get a cheap one! you will be buying another soon again if you do!

    Po420 is NOT a O2 sensor!

    Who ever tells you this again! Is a dumbass and don't ever take advice from a dumbass!

    Ask your parents they will agree with me! DUmbass Advice will only get you into trouble and dont fix anything!


    PO420 is your CAT , an cat only!

    my 98 accord was throwing a p0420. I replace the secondary sensor with a new one = no more cel.

    P0420 meas that the secondary sensor thinks the cat is bad.

    ok so here's the deal. i just bought a direct bolt on catalytic converter and a new downstream o2 sensor.. but the last bolts taking off the old catalytic converter is wierd.. i think the nut and the bolt is welded in together?? ive been trying all morning trying to loosen the nut but it wont budge even when i drowned that bitch in wd40 about 10 times.. idk if this makes any sense so heres pics..













    i think they are both welded in im not sure??? but maybe the nut is super rusted..
