You know you've probably already cooked your exhaust valves in your
procrastination.

Re: Crappy gas mileage
I told the stealership to check it out... .I sure hope I didn't trash
anything. I had no choice but to wait until now to get it fixed. The
problem didn't start until I was at OTS, then I had to get home somehow...
really no problem until Thursday. Then I took it in. Any idea how to check
the valves??
By the way, apparently the nearest cat at ANY dealer is in Arizona (I'm in
San Antonio). What the heck is that about? Dealers don't stock them???

Re: Crappy gas mileage
Not really an unusual situation, aside from being a low volume repalcement
item (modern cats are very robust and don't fail with any regularity) cats
are really expensive for a dealer to keep in stock.
What usually causes a cat to fail is outside influence (a rock or other road
hazard). Most modern systems go into some form of limp home mode that will
prevent the cat from loading up with fuel and overheating. Unless it's clear
that it failed from being struck from the outside, it would be sensible to
have a knowledeable tech check this thing out with proper diagnostiocs eqpt
before you replace the cat.
