PROW355 is on a distinguished road
Here is an update on my Catalytic Converter problem. After receiving the quote from the above shop (+$3000) I took the X to a different shop (Huntzberry Import Automotive) and I had a smoke test done. The mechanic found a vacuum leak (near the manifold) and plugged it. I paid under $100 for the work and after driving it I now only am getting code P1093 - Manifold Control Fuel + Air Metering, Auxiliary Emission Control. I will be doing some searching on the forum for some info for this code but I would appreciate any help. I figure it could be an O2 sensor, but I am assuming. Thanks for everyones advice...I hope this helps others in the future...dont waste your money when someone says replace everything without knowing for sure the real problem.

The initial mechanic was so wrong, not only did he try to rip me off, he didnt even mark the vehicle as Manual transmission, which it is.
