a tune up - i am not looking for a common sense solution : )) thanks jim -- Or you could just do a tuneup ............................. The Cap'n Silly me. I thought you wanted to FIX the problem, not just pass a smog test. I'll say this again...... IF you put a converter on a car running at 7%, it's gonna fail completely within a few hundred miles, thereby wasting the money you spent on the converter and the work. Furthermore, the mode of failure (the monolith is gonna freakion' MELT) is such that it's likely to plug your exhaust system, causing you to spend even MORE money. Since we're all CSOBs here, the very thought of flushing all that cash down the drain is repugnant. The Cap'n |
