Just had my Accord scanned..Code has been, coming and going. Showed a
P0420.
Catalsyt efficiency below threshold bank 1. A new converter costs 800
dollars. The
service manager, says the cat is comming apart inside. Any advice?

I advise you to take it to several different muffler shops and get
estimates on the cost of a now cat. converter. If you can do the work
yourself--visit a magazine shop and buy a copy of a magazine entitled
"Honda Tuning". There should be some ads in the magazine from companies
that offer great deals on cat. converters.

Thanks Grumpy for the comeback...I am concerned about the stiff Emission
Control
Inspection in western Pa. Being that it is a LEV vehicle,the aftermarket cat
might not
do the job.
