...took it to get diagnosed and....(more)? I was told it now needs TWO things (and this is a 2004 car with 65500 miles on it)- a CATALYTIC CONVERTER (which is still under warranty), and some type of FLOW VALVE. The guy said the part/labor for the valve is between $800 and 900 because he has to drop the transmission to replace this valve. Three weeks ago, I took it to STS and was told is needed the Cat. Converter--NO mention of this $800+ valve. Now, the diagnostic test showed BOTH - the CC and the "air-flow"?? valve (I can't remember the exact name).
Does anyone know if this is a "normal" thing to bo bad on this type of car? What can cause it to go bad? Is $800+ a "normal" charge??
ANY info on this would be appreciated. I've been told it's a bit odd the CC needs to be replaced on a 04 car with 55K miles....but what about this other thing?? Thanks so much in advance.
Correction: It's 65K miles, not 55K. Please no remarks about American versus foreign cars!! One thing at a time! THANKS!
I'LL GET THE EXACT NAME OF THE PART TOMORROW. IF YOU COULD PLEASE CHECK BACK AFTER 6 PM EST, I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
GOD BLESS.
The Check Engine light has been on for about 4 months. The car wouldn't start a week ago after I got gas. After letting it sit about 20 minutes, it did turn over easily.
