P0420 : Catalyst efficiency below threshhold (Bank 1) P1400 : Auxilary Emissions Control Malfunction

My code scanner said: 1. Catalyst efficiency below threshold (bank 1) and 2. Auxilary emmissions control malfunction.For the 1st is it the o2 sensor or the catalytic converter? (Cat is hollowed and haven't had an issue in almost a year since doing it.)For the second would that be the...

The really sad thing is they have no clue how many of us wish we could find them... Sorry to hear about your sitch bro. "You win some and you lose some. It's that you got back up when knocked down that matters."

I like the paint job.... Can anyone do a photoshop of a 2g Talon with that style paint job? I'd really like to see it.....

I have the stock downpipe, hollowed out cat, the factory resonators and a straight through 3ARacing muffler and WOW does it sound mean. VERY deep toned but not really LOUD. On my Neon I had a hollowed out cat, stepped up to 3 inch at the Cherry Bomb glasspack and a 90 degree bend right out the...

You can fit the SRT4 turbo on a 420a but it's kinda harder to do since the block is 180 degrees opposite from the Dodge. Well mostly they're the same (420a eclipse compared to a ECB neon 2.0 motor) The SRT4 runs a 2.4 liter instead of the 2.0 found in most all other Neons. Also you can source an...

IF my car was all white like yours I would probably do the following:1. Lower the car 1", any more and you'll need to get camber adjusters. 2. Tint the windows. 3. Find an "Old School" style Storm Trooper Helmet Logo and get a stencil about 10" round made. 4. Paint the car semi off white...

OK, I'm still relatively new to the DSM scene but I know for DAMN SURE that there is NO WAY IN HELL there's $75,000 invested in that car. THE ONLY way for that to have happened was if he's including the original cost of the car and whatever rediculously high interest rate he paid on his credit...

Gimme his address and forget we ever had this conversation....I'm sorry about your car and what i'll do to him in it, you'll at least need new seats and a headliner when i'm done.....(Blood doesn't wash out that easy)

I bought a few parts from a guy on ebay that was based in PA and when I called him he mentioned having about 30 DSM's of various types that he can get parts off of....might be the same guy or someone who works there....

wow that's really nice. I wouldn't have they would bolt up and fit but I guess thay do..... now I got some ideas for other rims that might fit. I hate my stock rims....

If it was towed ON A FLATBED your fine. If the front tires were tied down to the "claws" and the rears just spun then you should read this too.As far as the rears spinning... Well mine just locked up like i ripped the emergency brake. I got the car under control ( Thanks to many years of...

In my case of having an Automatic, it just plain locked. The front tires would rotate freely in Nuetral but the rears were locked in all gears.

Just be glad you weren't driving the car when they locked up. I was doing 65 on the highway when mine locked!!! The transfer casse is actually pretty easy to do. The coupling in question...wouldn't that be the rear differential? Or more specific "IN" the rear differential carrier?I spoke to...

I still have the transfer case for thenm to look at as for why it locked up. And at that it would be the same shop that told me the car was fine and "the recall has already been done on this car" 3 days before it locked up... I'm probably gonna try and go down there anyway. Even if they just...

Wow looks good. My Talon has a similar issue with the stock exhaust. NOT melting it but turning the white paint black. I'm think of taking some stainless steel that I can get from work and making a panel to go over the bumper where it keeps turning black. . .

I got my 1st one in 99. It was a 96 Talon ESi. On display IN the mall was an Electric BLue beauty that looked sweet as hell. It was more of a game between myself and a friend of mine to see who's tax check would come in first and which one of us would get the car... HA HA YOU LOST!Had it for...

I found mine on Ebay for $200 with shipping included. Keep looking and I'm sure you can get a better price than $500. Try craigslist too....

The wiring instructions came in the box with it, the pin out diagram i found online, I think on here. I referenced the pin out diagram for the ECU to see what wires ran to what and spliced in right at the harness of the ECU. I'm sorry but I'm not following EXACTLY what your asking in your last...

I was just using the most commonly known major places... not to recommend those specifically. I wouldn't go to them either... then again I don't have to. I have a tire changing machine in my garage. Got it used from the mechanic down the street about 3 years ago when he went out of business.

If it's like the Special Edition black one I have the wiring diagram is in the instructions. I also found on here somewhere a pin out diagram for the ECU. I got the RPM's to register but for some reason the MPH isn't working and I haven't gotten around to finding out why yet... maybe i'll do...

Where did you get that lip kit from on the black one? And is that a Talon front bumper?

I'm not selling anything at all. And as far as hitting a bump in the road, that's reading into my statement a little to the extreme. I'm simply trying to prove the point of be cautious if you plan on taking the cheap way out. It could be ALOT more expensive in the long run. I apologize for my...

OK what if my transfer case already locked up and I already replaced it personally, can i bring the old one to the dealership and get the cost of the new one reimbersed to me? I was originally told when I got the car that the recall was already done by a dealer who looked up my VIN, so I didn't...

YES uneven treadwear can affect your drivetrain. That's the whole point of 4WD and AWD vehicles REQUIRING, in most cases, to have all 4 tires replaced at the same time. I've had people come into work and argue that point thousands of times about "only needing the 2 worst replaced" or "just the 1...

Hey guys has anyone ever had a Twin Loop Muffler on a TSi? I just got the muffler for free and can't seem to find any videos online of a DSM turbo with this style muffler on it. Before I go through any work to put it on I'd like to get an idea of the sound it'll produce first.....

If I just wanted loud i guess I could do like I did on my 1st gen Neon after I put the turbo on it... After the cat ran a Cherry Bomb Glasspack and then just 2 3/4 pipe all the way back. BUT I'm just looking for a little more deep tone NOT a honda whine... Any other suggestions that DON'T have a...

In my area the cops nail anybody with a muffler that's more than a 3" opening, unless it's stock ( some of the Lancers and STI's around here have them from the dealership and that's ok... I guess.) So I wanted a deeper, slightly louder tone, but not obviously a racing fart can style muffler...

I blew out my center diff while driving at 65mph down the highway! Not a good thing to experience.:notgood: The rears locked up and she slid all over. Luckily once I got onto the grass it slowed down alot and became more managable. The car gave NO WARNING at all this time. I replaced that and...

^^^ your car would look absolutely gorgeous in all black, or even better black with a pinch of silver metal flake. Sorry I couldn't help it, I know its off topic but I had to add it.I'm debating to shave the wing or not as well. I have the thumb nail wing on my 95 Talon TSi AWD and some...

yeah i forgot about that test too

1st thing is DO NOT assume that it's your wheel bearings. Jack up the car in the front and put it on jack stands. Go to the driver side tire and grab the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock positions and in an up and down motion (like pulling the top of the tire to you and pushing the bottom away) rapidly...

WOW that sounds just SOOO wrong.....Anyway I just replaced my passenger side wheel bearing because of the same issue. Going straight a slight vibration in the steering wheel and almost grinding noise from the passenger floor area, and if I made a left hand turn it got like normal but a right...

OK so the .00055 reading he got on his gauge, is that good or bad he doesn't really say but thank you for the link. At least it'll give me one more thing to check and make sure is ok on the car.

OK i've done some searching and haven't found this one... How can i check for possible crank walk in an automatic? All the threads speak of a 5spd and if the clutch gets mushy on hard left turns but nothing about an auto... Do automatics just not crankwalk? My car is a 95 TSi AWD so I know it...

My car has the exact same problem, BUT no CEL... It came on once but after I erased it at never came on again. I still have the problem but no light is on. About the only thing i noticed and haven't done yet is the O-ring on the BISS screw. It looked a little worn but not too bad. I just haven't...

I live in Hyde Park, NY and have heard to NY, NJ, and PA referred to as the Tri-State area my whole life. Not saying that it's the ONLY tri- state area referred to but for us NY's it's the assumed designation. Anyways any of you guys that wanna meet up in the area from Fishkill northish to...

ok. thanks for the response.

Can a 1G FIAV block off kit fit a early (1995 made in Dec. 94) 2G throttle body? Has anyone tried this? If so was a direct bolt on or did it have to be modified and in what way?Thanks, Mike

Disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes and then reconnect it. Most manuals say 10 minutes is good but I've always preferred to play it safer. Also i believe there is a small rubber hose that runs from the fill tube for the gas tank to the tank to allow for air and fumes to escape. check to...

Ok just out of curiosity (and I don't know for sure because I haven't changed mine yet but...) did you put the Fuel filter in the right direction? I've heard on some of them they are directional and the fuel will only flow at the correct rate in one direction and be seriously restricted in the...

OK i pulled the BISS screw out today after i got home from work and noticed the O-ring on the screw does look a little flat on the outside edge, and the screw was coated in black residue( I'm assuming from the previous owner not gapping the spark plugs and the car running rich). As for the MAF...

But in checking the TPS would it still just idle high? The idle doesn't bounce around or surge or whatever, it's just really high. I can get it down by adjusting the BISS screw everyday but then by mid-day it's back up to 2000 or so RPM's. A friend of mine said it could also be the temp sensor...

My car will sometimes idle at 500 or so and sometimes over 2000 rpm's. I've tried adjusting the BISS screw and that does nothing, I checked the vacuum lines and they seem fine, I cleaned out the throttle body. I replaced the IAC motor already so that's not it. I'm confused I don't want to...

Hey eagletalonjohn, i'm not that far from you! I'd deffinately be down for a group meeting of some sort. Just let me know when and where...

What year is the car? When I bought my car from a guy in CT I needed to get it reinspected for NY but since it's a 95 they didn't need to do the emissions so I was ok. Mind you the "cat" is still there there's just nothing inside it... Same effect as yours but looks legal, just a suggestion...
