Anyone got one?

Anyone got any recommendations on what kind to get?

I have thrown code P0432 a few times, any thoughts.

According to Stu's site...

P0432 (M) 1/2 Catalytic Converter Efficiency Catalyst 2/1 efficiency below required level.

Maybe time for a new cat?

Thanks, but there are some other tests that can pin it down even further. In other words is it a bad cat or is it different readings in the up/down stream O2 sensors. And would a sensor replace fix the problem or do I need a new cat. Its gonna take a OBD II reader to sort that one out. Most shops charge $75-$100 bucks just to tell you.

I know that some folks on here have the readers...

Autozone will hook up their OBD II scan tool for nada and tell you the codes.

Codes can only tell you so much. There's usually more diag that needs to be done to pin point the problem.

Thanks Tom

I decided to just go buy one so I can get down into the nitty gritty...:)
