    3D print a bracket for the engine compartment maybe?

    I am an engineer and have been using CAD and FEA simulation analysis to design plastic and metal parts for many years.... Engineering grade FDM materials can be used in under the hood environments depending on application and proximity to exhaust components. They are not "easy" to print, but you...

    3D print a bracket for the engine compartment maybe?

    3D printing is an option if you can do the modeling and have a printer (or send it out to print). I have printed many parts for my vehicles. I would recommend nylon (PA) for under the hood applications. Nylon has a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 255C, compared to ABS 88C. I prefer...

Replaced the ECM which solved most of the issues and finally got thru smog check last month and I am now enjoying driving the car...

    Called around to the local muffler shops and they want $800-$980 out the door (after looking up the engine family code). That's way too much......Took the time to visit the CA aftermarket catalytic converter database: https://ssl.arb.ca.gov/AftermarketParts/catalystsI price checked each...

    Changed air cleaner, PCV, plugs, O2, and drove about 350 miles on the weekend with 2 bottles of G2P.... Will change the oil, fill up with 89, and do a emissions pretest....If it fails, then I will have to replace the cat....

    I did a boost leak test already, no leaks detected.I drove the car about 40 miles on the highway before the smog.The car sat from 2018 to late 2021 and when I fired it up it had some valve noise.Changed the oil to Redline 5w-30 and the noise went away immediately.The O2 sensor was...

    I think your right.... It probably damaged the cat when it was running rich.... I got quotes for a new cat today and it's going to be about $550......

    Code PO202

    Thanks...I'll check the injector resistance (I have a multi-meter).what is the resistance specification for the stock injectors?I guess I can check the voltage at the connector to validate that it's not a supply voltage issue.I really don't want to spend money on a replacement stock...
