I will run it past autozone tonight and get you guys the codes. The cats were empty when I removed them. Nothing in them.

Could be running open loop.

Could also have some kind of home-made tune or mail order or something. Car's obviously been modified if they gutted the cats.

Well, I took the car to Auto Zone and it read bad 02 sensors again. He cleared the codes and said to have them ran again if it comes up again. Light kicked back on as soon as I pulled in the driveway. Any ideas? Car seems to get a little better when it warms up. I put 93 octane in it today and did not notice a difference with shell 93.

if your cats are gutted 02 sensors are not the problem, o2 READINGS are the problem.

you need a tune if you're gonna gut cats. The car will run open loop and dump fuel, bogging the car down and making it perform really bad.

prolonged this can fowl plugs and get black powder all over the back of your car. (which will happen anyway really.. but.. moreso..)

not to mention get poor fuel economy.
