Question: Civic problem, catalytic converter??
Lately my civic has started losing power, getting increasingly worse
gas mileage, and occassionally making a rumbling noise (especially when it's raining). Most of my research has led me to believe that there's a problem with my catalytic converter. So, 2 questions: 1. For those who know far more than I do, does it sound like a CC problem? 2. Do you know how much this costs to fix? Being a woman in my 20s, I want to be armed with all the necessary information when I take it to a mechanic. THanks. |

Question: Civic problem, catalytic converter??
What year is your Civic?
How many miles on it? Any "Check Engine" lights? Ever had the oxygen sensor replaced? Can you comment on the maintenance history of this Civic? E.g. how old are the spark plugs, ignition wires, and distributor cap? Have you done oil changes regularly? Ever had the PCV valve replaced? Replaced air and fuel filters regularly, per the maintenance schedule? > wrote > Lately my civic has started losing power, getting increasingly worse > gas mileage, and occassionally making a rumbling noise (especially when > it's raining).

If your cat is bad, then your o2 sensor is probably bad. you can have your
exhaust tested for back pressure.
