Exhaust shops won't do anything with a catalytic converter, unless you are replacing it. It is illegal to do so.

Can't you delete that code and prevent it from coming back up with a scanner?

also, has anybody installed the ZZP fuel pump re-wire kit?

You can clear it with a scanner, but it will continue to come back unless you get it tuned out. Mine is tuned out with Trifecta.

a scanner cannot prevent it, only pull it and wipe it. You'd need hpt or trifecta to disable the o2/cat code.

Find me a job today and I'll give you $50 cash. It has to pay a decent wage though (livable wage)..which means bare minimum $12/hour.

Must be full-time, must be permanent, must be reasonable work for the money (not going to be a slave for piddly amounts, yet I'm willing to work hard for my money), must not be more than 30 miles from Blaine, and must be something I'm qualified in some way to do.

Thanks but I can't drive semi....I don't have a Class A, just a B and I only have 1-1.5 years experience. I only have Air Brake endorsement as well...don't have tanker or HazMat or anything else. Can't be away from home much either....can't really get a job that is travel or even gone for nights at a time probably.

I have installed my own fuel pump rewire. Pretty simple to do.

Yeah I know it's a simple task, was just wondering if there was a noticeable difference in fuel pump efficiency.

And also, I am planning on buying a JBP header in the next few days. Refi'd my car and my payments dropped $100 a month. w007
