What about the honeycomb in a converter is it safe to break apart?

There is no reason to do this. Modern catalytic converters do not restrict your exhaust flow. All you will gain by breaking it out is a check engine light coming on that will never go away. If your check engine light is already on for a catalytic converter problem removing the honeycomb will not fix it.


Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1994 Pontiac Trans Am?

There are 4 sensors on the 94 Firebird T/A, 2 in front, 2 in rear, these are located on the exhaust system, 2 before the catalytic converters and 2 after the converters. They look almost like spark plugs and have a wire going to them. You should be able to identify them no problem. Hope this helps!

I hope this will at least give you a lead of some sort. Another thing that was mentioned that I am looking into now is a 'map' sensor???? Good luck!!
