Catalytic converter removal?

HI TWUB78,

The code P0430 is a code for the bank 2 catalytic converter, so it looks like you have two on your car. I have attached an image of the exhaust system, so you can see where bank 2 is. Simply put, of the two, it is located closer to the tail pipe. I have also attached what exactly can cause your p0430 code to show up.

Here is how to test your catalytic converter:

I hope this helps! Best of luck!

Hello,

There are two, one for each bank of cylinders. Direct Trouble Code(DTC) P0430 is bank 2 catalyric converter is not operating within it's efficiency range. Over time your vehicle's catalytic converter will degrade due to normal wear and tear. When the catalytic converter can no longer due it's job, breaking down exhaust gas into harmless H2O and Carbon Dioxide then DTC P0430 will set. The catalytic converter should be replaced.

By law, it should have one, so that is a concern. Also, with the converter, the computer will be trying to compensate for the converter / O2 sensors. Overall, it can't be running the way it should.

This is kind of expensive repair @ $800+. Need to determine if that is really problem. Need a vacuum gague connect to a port on intake manifold. Start engine slowely raise RPMS to 2000 if engine falls off and vacuum guage reading drop then CAT pluged up.
