Well I had about 45 days and oil pump went and ruined the engine, got that replaced with a engine with 68000 miles same year same model (warranty shop says.) So not even 100 miles after I get that engine my check engine light comes on he tells me to go check the code at autozone, it ended up being P0430 the catalytic converter. Warranty guy says yea that's it you need a new one without even looking at my car tells me it'll be 500(not covered in warranty.) My question is #1 Would he not be able to tell this when running test on the engine he just put in? #2 Can they tell which catalytic converter it is with not checking? (I know there are 3) #3 Do you think they are trying to rip me off?

It's rarely anything but a bad converter. There may be 3 converters but there are only 2 that are monitored. It depends on the layout but you may be buying a "Y" pipe with both of them anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. dukefan465 New User Jun 23, 2014, 3:14 PM Post #3 of 5 (1415 views) Re: 02 ford escape xls Sign In So he wouldn't be able to tell this when he was running tests on the engine he just put in ? Also when I was driving to stop it off at the shop the engine cut off when I was trying to make a turn. Everything went dead and had to place in park cut it off and restart it. The converter would make it do that? dukefan465 New User Jun 23, 2014, 4:12 PM Post #4 of 5 (1400 views) Re: 02 ford escape xls Sign In Also is that a good price for the converter and install?

I can't tell you much about the price because I don't know what you are buying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
