Rick_1138 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi folks, Well I was out in Inverness with the good lady 2 weeks ago and during an exceptionally wet day driving along the road into town the CEL light came on, the car seemed fine, made no noticeable hesitations etc. So I did the dance of a thousand pedals and got P0430 as a code. A bit of googling over a costa found that this was an issue with the catalytic convertor. Once I had got the code the light had gone out, but came back the other day, it threw up the same code, again I can notice no difference in running of the car, fuel efficiency etc (car always run on super 98\99). I have a Borla exhaust and hi flow cats on the car, and I kow aftermarket exhausts can cause this issue but I wondered if it was a screw in sensor or some such that could be on the way out, or is this simply something that occurs due to aftermarket cts? though I have run the car for about 2 months before this started. Any info or advice would be great, as I am about to do an oil change and knowing if there are any areas I should be looking at under the car would be grand. Cheers all. (apologies for wall of text, but return function isn't working in text box???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Probably due to the high flow cats - Try a pair of lambda spacers, available from ZMANALEX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
