well the cat is not the problem, and its always good to get new plugs and wires.are you throwing any check engine codes

theyangsta · 07-19-2009, 01:08 PM

the check engine light is on but its obd 1 and the advance auto doesnt have that kind of reader in my town. yea i got new plugs and wires and the fuel filter as well... oh and i still have my stock dx tranny does that matter too?

AHHVTEC · 07-19-2009, 02:47 PM

no the tranny dont matter, but you need to figure out what codes your throwing. there is a way to count them your self but on a 88-91 car it has to have a wires going to the ecu to jump and count the check lights does yours have that. it will be a blue 2 wire plug next to the ecu area
