    So it is finally finally fixed..... The cats had completely broken up in the exhaust and were blocking up the whole system. That was problem no. 1. To solve that I had to do the software where they just write the 2 downstream sensors out of the PCM, remove all traces of the broken up burnt out...

    An update on my situation........ Took my car to a really great exhaust place.

    Hi All So I have spoken to more mechanics and they have told me that there are cat foolers on the car which shouldn't be there are that are incorrectly fitted on the wrong sensors (on the rear I think). My question is why would there be cat foolers fitted to the car? Their diagnostic equipment...
