Default The Dragon ate my cat

For those who didn't know. My CEL popped on and threw a p0137 code over DBR (thanks John for bringing and letting me use your code reader!).

Just got home from Leith Honda, where I was informed that the comb inside the cat has dislodged, snapped in half, and slid back...resulting in a damaged o2 sensor. Vtak ftw. Honda Care is going to cover the o2 sensor, and the cat is covered under standard Honda warranty. The new cat will be here on Thursday to be installed.

I am so tempted to cut that f@#ker and try to get away with emissions.

Get a Berk HFC, I haven't had any problem with inspections with mine. I'm afraid the dragon also took a toll on my car. Threw a CEL today on the way to the store. I've gotta go get the code pulled later but hopefully it's just an O2 sensor or something.

Haha, just pulled the code and it is my cat. Shouldn't have suggested it, because I jinxed myself. But I guess it's about the most harmless CEL it could have been, so I'm happy.

Just don't go the test pipe route...

Been there, done that...

After 3-4 years, people finally tell you that you stink!
