2001 Cadillac EL Dorado CAT CONVERTOR REPLACE MENT

Dont put the cart before the horse! First thing you need to do is have the codes read Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on.
