Hello guys!
I have a quick question for y'all (I know, I know, Again! ).
I'm having some trouble with my car (As usual lol). I have a lose of power when flooring it. It's not jerking or anything but I stinks pretty bad and I can see my fuel gauge going down. I don't have any CEL but I'm pretty sure my Cats are going bad right now. I'd like to cut my cats and put a pipe instead. The problem is that each cat have an O2 sensor in it. I'm not looking at removing the O2 sensor before the cat (From my understanding I need it for my fuel mixture). But, I'm looking to remove the cats temporally to see if that'll clear my doubt to know if they're shot or not. Our car have 4 O2 sensors. 2 before the cats and 1 on each cat. I'm pretty sure if I remove my cats the CEL will go off. How would I bypass that CEL without welding a bung on the test pipe? I don't have emission test in my county and this is just temporally. I'm not looking at leaving it this way forever but just for a few month while I save some money to buy new ones. It's my DD car and it pisses me off that I literally have no freaking power or CEL to show Ford the cats are shots.
Thanks for your help and advice!
