What is the difference between and after market catalytic converter and an OEM catalytic converter?

A OEM converter should bolt in exactly like the original, an after market may have to be cut and welded in.


2005 subaru outback check engine light and cruise control light flashes Dealer says the two catalytic converters need replacing at a cost of 3000 Could something else be causing this problem?

It could be the oxygen sensors, or some other part of the emission control system (you should have a sticker about this on the underside of the hood). However, because the cruise control light is flashing its more likely that it is some sort of electrical issue.


Where are oxygen sensors on a 1995 Ford Thunderbird?

Depending on the engine. On a 4.6 Liter V8 there are 4 sensors 2 upstream and 2 downstream. The 2 upstream sensor's are located before the catalytic converters one on the left side pipe and one on the right side pipe. The 2 down stream sensors are located behind the catalytic converters one on the left side pipe and. one on the right side pipe. The best way to change these is to have the car on a hoist. I have changed mine using a floor jack and jack stands, it's a little tight but you can change them that way.


What is the P430 error code on a 2003 Toyota Highlander?

That code means that the oxygen sensor downstream of the catalytic converter on bank 2 is detecting that the converter is not working as efficiently as it should be. It could be a bad oxygen sensor, a bad catalytic converter or and exhaust leak.


Should a Bosch 15716 oxygen sensor go before or behind the catalytic converter?

bosch 15716 and bosch 15718 are the same exact sensor, the difference is the length of the wiring the 15718 has a longer wire. Both sensors would go before the catalytic converter. 15717 goes after.

Only if it was sold in California. In 1974 all California cars had catalytic converters. In 1975, the rest of the country followed suit. If you've got the build sheet, you should be able to easily determine which dealership sold the car new and then you'll know if it should have a cat.

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!
