Check Engine Light - Bad Catalytic Converter by jvuong
May 07, 2009 (4:51 am)

So I just picked up my car from a diagnostic of the Check Engine Lights and its bad news. I had codes P0421 and P0431, so when I described to the service analyst the symptoms:
- Lost of Power while Driving, like I'm not stepping on the gas (engine never dies however)
- When Hard Accelerating, I feel the car stutter a bit
 
It was confirmed that I have a bad catalytic converter. And its going to cost $2800 to have it repaired!?!? I've been searching all over the web for a diagram, part, etc (with no luck), and will continue to call a few of the local muffler shops to see if they'll be able to do it, but has anyone had to replace this? My vehicle is an 04 XLS AWD, and unfortunately has 93K miles on it so its outside that federal replacement window.
 
Does anyone have a diagram of the cat flow, and why it costs so much to replace? Is there a way to buy the part from elsewhere and have it done? Can't seem to find it online anywhere so any guidance/links/support on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance!

WOW! I would definately check around. $2800 to repair a catalytic converter seems outrageous. Where did you take it to get the estimate; The Dealership? I also have an 04 XLS AWD with 56,000 miles and have only had it for about 3 months. I bought the car because all the reviews on it seemed good. Every website I went to had it rated about 4.5 out of 5 stars, but after coming to this site, I am a little concerned.
 
Definately keep us posted. I am very curious as to the cost to repair that.

Replacing the timing belt by josh99216

I bought my used 04 Mitsubishi Endeavor XLS about 5 months ago with 54K miles on it. It now has 57K miles on it and though I know its a bit early to worry about but I was wondering if someone could tell me when the timing belt should be replaced. I am also curious as to if the timing belt were to break while driving, does this blow the engine? I know some cars timing belts break and it doesnt hurt the engine, how about the 04 Endeavor? Also any other maintenance advice would be greatly appreciated.

Endeavor timing belt and other issues by brenda18

I was told this morning by a service writer that replacing the timing belt on my 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor was very important as it would cause engine failure.
 
Also, the engine needs to be taken apart to replace the platinum-tipped spark plugs!
 
Anyone have any idea how carbon gets into solenoid vents in the ignition system?

Transfer oil and rear axle oil price by brenda18

Be careful when you this serviced, as it takes special oil which only the dealers have. If an outside mechanic buys it, they have to buy the whole container and only use about 1/4 of the container.

Hey guys,
 
I have a 2005 Endeavor and when i turn it on lately i experience a loss of power while getting out of the parking and when i have to stop at stop signs when the car has just been turned on. Once i rev the engine and drive it for sometime its fine. But the other day i was leaving a park and had to stop at a stop sign before leaving and the car started losing power and eventually turned off. It would not start for like an hour!!! I took it to PepBoys and they said the battery and alternator were working fine...! Help!! Thanks!

HELP! Please tell me you were able to find a solution. This just happened to my car today. I started it and Communication Error showed up on my screen. My automatic key won't work, nor will the radio/cd player. I'm dreading the answer I might get from the dealer

Have you checked your Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor? I had a problem similar to this on my old Nissan Pathfinder and that was what was causing my car to lose power, and in some cases, shut down entirely.
