How long ago was it? If it was just recently they might
have fogotten to connect the rear O2 sensor back.

I got a recall notice for my 96 Cherokee, they wanted to flash the
computer and would replace the cat if it was rattling. The problem was
that the computer wouldn't pick up a failing cat.

Well my cat DID rattle, but it stopped about 200,000 miles ago, and I
figured the stuff had fallen out of it, but the check engine light never
came on.

OK, so I probably have a bad cat and the computer didn't know it. If
I'd taken it into the dealer they would have "fixed" the computer but
would not have replaced the cat because it didn't rattle. So I would
have driven in the dealership in a good, healthy Jeep and driven out
with the check engine light on.

Needless to say I did not take it in!

I hope you didn't get caught in that, if you did you probably need a new
cat, if they really did plug the downstream O2 sensor back in.

If it's on the recall, it should be replaced.

Tell them you want the old cat, I hear they can be worth up to $100
