I just put everything that was on the receipt for the codes. He circled the engine misfire one and catalytic converter defective (failure possibly due to 2, 3 or 4). 2 is engine misfire, 3 is large vacuum leak and 4 is engine oil leakage into exhaust. I have noticed that the engine smells like...

Engine Misfire. Catalytic converter defective. Engine oil leakage into exhaust-valve guide seals, piston rings. Large vacuum leak is all on the receipt they printed me. Guy at Autozone told me to have a friend put their hand over the exhaust and rev it to 1000 RPM and if it doesn't blow their...

The codes are P0420 and P0430.

My CEL has been on since getting the car and it's a catalytic converter code. I noticed the 3rd CC was taken out and the exhaust looks like it was put on with bubble gum. I have a base and previous owner put the LSC exhaust on it very poorly. Never looked at it until yesterday and I think it is...

The air bag light has been blinking at me since I bought the car. It was blinking at me when I got it from the shop. I stopped to get some tacos on the way home, it started beeping at me when I got back in and haven't noticed it blinking since. I tried to look up the light on rock auto but...

That's gonna be classy looking! Nice!

It's a 1997. Not sure of the history of the car at all. I was told from the shop that the engine was replaced in the car. Not sure if it was involved in a wreck or what. It doesn't appear to have been wrecked by looking at the alignments of the fenders and such. I read that you can't buy the...

I bought the Dr Tranny Fix 2 oz tube and put it in. It seemed to help on my way to work the next day. When I drove it back it started slipping again. So now it may be like 25% better than what it was. This car was definitely lacking the regular maintenance. It was owned by an 18 year old kid...

Hahaha it does sound questionable to type in the google search bar. Especially how it tries to finish your sentences.

OK thank you Gau8!

It claims to stop slipping and stop any leaking you might have. I looked up the Dr Tranny and looks like it comes in a 2 oz tube. Can I add that directly to my transmission fluid or do I have to drain some first? Right now it doesn't shift too bad but the rpms go slightly higher than it should...

I have read that Lucas transmission fix works really well. Never heard of the Dr Tranny Shudder fix. I was told to put Mercon V in it also. I just put $2000 worth of repairs into the car so I have to pay that off before I get any more major work done to it. Luckily they're allowing me to make...

Yeah it is kind of odd. My passenger side floor was SOPPING wet. I used a big towel to clean it up and was soaked. I really don't understand why it had a small puddle from under the radiator every day. The radiator pressure check came out fine though and haven't noticed any puddles since being...

Your car sounded awesome, hopefully one day mine will sound something like that! Motivation for sure.

Btw my antifreeze loss was due to a bad heater core. They replaced it and is no longer leaking and needless to say my heat/air conditioning work awesome now :) Now on to the next set of repairs! (transmission, steering wheel telescoping and probably changing the air ride out)
