98 Accord needs 2nd catalytic converter at 105K miles
My mechanic is still doing diagnostics but tells me I may need a second
catalytic converter in my 98 Accord. The original was replaced by the dealer under warranty at about 70K mi. The car never gave me problems until I started commuting 120 miles round trip between New Jersey and the New York City outer boroughs. That means plenty of top-and-go traffic with a variety of debris on roads in poor conditions. I'm at fault as well. Other than oil changes every 3-4K miles I haven't put a lot into standard maintenance the ca, mostly because I've had to replace a clutch and front end in the last year. And the check engine light had been on for several weeks before I brought it in for repairs. I'm starting a new job next week, in New Jersey. It won't be quite as long a commute and the roads are in a much better condition. Now I'm considering whether I need to get rid of the car or stick with it. I was hoping to get at least 200K but not at the expense of frequent expensive repairs. What sort of things can I do to minimize emission control problems? Thanks, Joe |
