Run a computer diagnostic test to figure out WHY it's on. Why replace a converter when the problem could be an oxygen sensor?

2001 Pathfinder engine light problem you replaced 2 oxygen sensors then replaced 2 timing sensors the service engine light still on computer shows no code?

Wrong scanner?? If a check engine light is on, there are codes. Timing sensor? Check engine usually means a problem... Service means that scheduled service needs to be performed like oil change, or timing belt replacement. I would Check your Catalytic Converter. What often happens is the catalyst that is in the Catalytic converter Heats up and Blows out into your Muffler. This means It is not the sensor,but your converter and Muffler Need Replaced.I have just fixed two cars with this problem,and they had the same symptoms,Check engine Light.

Jeep Cherokee check engine light?

Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem I own a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a 6.0 Engine and I had this happen to me just 2 weeks ago. My number 2 injector was bad and was flooding the engine with gas. It ran horrible. DO NOT DRIVE your vehicle if you have a flashing engine light, as you can destroy your catalytic converter. I had my injector replaced and all the O rings changed and she runs great! I had this done at the dealership. Also, if you look in your owners manual, it will tell you about this warning. Hope this helps you!

Does pinging in cat converter mean it needs to be replaced?

If pieces of the broken cat are rattling around in there then yes. If this vehicle is a 1996 or later and the cat is broken the check engine light should be illuminated and the codes should point to a failed cat converter.


I have a Ford f-150 truck the engine has a miss to it and the check engine is on and then it blinks and then it stays on and at low rpms it runs rough?

I just got my f-150 fixed with that same problem. I replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires. The blinking check engine light is caused by excess gas coating the catalytic converter sensor. If left unfixed this will cause permanent damage to the catalytic converter.


Can a clogged catalytic converter cause oil blow by?

Maybe but more likely its the other way around. Oil blowby will ruin the converter quickly. Perhaps if the check engine light was on & the engine quickly replaced then the converter would still be good. A clogged cat will just rob performance & the engine might not start. The oxygen sensors abre probably ruined from the oil blowby too.


Does the 1994 Cherokee jeep sport have an alternator light on the inside panel?

When my jeep cherokee alternator went bad, the check engine light came on and I didnt have a clue what was going on until my volt guage was reading in the red zone. When I replaced my alternator, the light went off. So in my opinion i wouldnt consider the check engine light as a alternator light.
