I keep getting Warm Up Catalys codes...?
#4
I have code 431 showing on mine. The mechanic that ran the codes told me it was an exhaust leak ot a bad catalytic coverter but.... I brought it to a muffler shop yesterday and they are telling me that my catalytic converter is fine, it looks new so I don't know but if you find out anything, let me know and I will do the same. I have several people trying to figure this out. Is your TCSOFF/ TCS light coming off and on sometimes?

I hear ya!!!! These guys are nuts... I'm getting more info from you than the damn shop that ran the codes. Someone else told me to take the intake off the throttle body and remove 4 screws that hold the throttle body on, remove it also. i will see a really clogged hole in the bottom. take engine cleaner and spray it, it will break up the buildup and that will help with the way the vehicle is running. What ya think?

Would these errors cause the car to run slower? I am having issues right now where my 95 Milly S had more torque then my 02 Milly S does.
I like to fix things my self so to fix this what would I need to do? Replace the catalyst converter?

converterS. plural. both exh manifolds. depending on how bad the cats are, they could be clogged. ever take vicodin? same thing happens to you. also, possibly the ecu has gone open loop, and is running on factory default codes, which is less power.
