01 accord 2.3 ulev Catalytic Converter
Need to replace the cat, did research, some people say the ulev has a special cat, but every site i look at doesnt specify base/lev/ulev/sulev as different. hoping somebody may know if there all interchangable or if i do need a specific one?
|
18160-PAA-L21 is the part# for ULEV catalytic converter
18160-PAA-305 is the part# for non-ULEV cat 18160-PAA-L40 for the SULEV ("may be discontinued") (I only looked up for 4-door cars) What I don't know is what the actual difference is, or whether they are mechanically interchangeable. |
someone was also telling me theres some tricks to tricking the cat, something about park plug spacers between the o2 sensors and the exhaust?
|
Maybe, but I suspect the PCM on the ULEV car is a lot more capable of detecting those kinds of tricks.
|
put the spacers in, it seems to have worked, 400 miles and no CEL yet. stayed away long enough to pass emissions on the inspection, im happy :D
