I have had engine light on and rough car idle for a while now and changed throttle body. It stopped the misfire but would not start now. So I changed crankshaft sensor and now it had a long crank and very little power and high fuel usage.

I have changed the spark plugs, ignition coils, camshaft sensor, o2 sensors and throttle body. Do not know what this could be? My vehicle is a K12 model.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, this vehicle is not sold in the US, so my information is very limited. However, what you are describing sounds like a plugged catalytic converter. Take a look through these links. It describes the symptoms, how to check a converter, and in general, how to replace one.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
