Re: Losing power... AGAIN.. HELP!
I ordered a new cat-back system yesterday and will have it in by this
weekend. Hopefully that'll fix the problem. If not, I'll take it back to a
shop to have them check it out. Initially the dealer said I needed a new O2
sensor, but that was becuase they thought the threads were seized. They got
it out, but maybe they damaged it in the process...
