Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT WENT OFF WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING DONE. SINCE THEN THE CEL HAS GONE ON AND OFF FOR 4-5 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR IN OKIMOTO'S FOR SERVICE AND THEY FOUND PO420, CATALYTIC CONVERTER INEFFICIENCY. THIS IS ON A 1998 HONDA ACCORD, THAT HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. TOOK THE CAR TO NORM REEVES AND THE GOT THE SAME CODE PO420. COST OF REPAIR $1000. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CEL AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *AK
