dearship parts are high.you can buy a factory catalytic converter or universal converter cheaper at auto parts place.they basic the same parts the.dealership has same catalytic converter.they put their price and labor rate charge an hour your pocket book will be empty.i have used universal catalytic converter.had no problem with it.the only difference is universal converter body a little shorter.but has same lengh as factory.if check engine is coming on you cant turn it off .if computer showing you a code.you could have a misfire causing rich exhaust emission.that can ruin a catalytic converter have it scan.dealership charge you about $130.00 .you can have it scan at advance auto or auto zone.to see what pcm code is.it could be oxygen sensor somethinh minor.

SOURCE: I am getting a code p0420 on my madza rx8 2005 the

The converter should last 10 or 15 years if you don't have issues that damage it. Get thoses codes checked out and repaired. If you have antifreeze entering the exhaust,a leaking fuel injector,bad o2 sensor etc,that could ruin the converter,if you drive it that way for a year or more. The converter may be installed wrong or an exhaust joint is leaking in air and setting a code. o2 sensor loose and other issues. Have to start somewhere and walk it down untill you find the problem.

Where is the 02 Oxygen Sensor before the cadalic converter on a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe

Usually these are located on the exhaust manifold or just below the exhaust manifold and you should be able to see it in the engine bay. On V6 engines there will be one sensor on each of the 2 exhaust banks.
You will probably need to remove the engine cover to see the sensors on your exhaust.

If someone told you to replace these because you got a particular fault code I would be wary. A decent scan tool and basic diagnostics can show if the 02 sensor is working or not. Some faults often blamed on an 02 sensor are not due to faulty sensors.

WHERE IS THE BANK 1 SENSOR 2 LOCATED?

If you mean O2 sensor, bank 1 is the driver's side on RWD, or front bank on FWD. The #2 sensor is the one behind the catalytic converter, which does little but telling the ECU if the converter is doing its job.

How much does it cost to fix the catalytic converted on a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon?

Don't ever use the word ballpark at a repair
shop or keep harping on prices or you may
& should be asked to leave
You can use your computer to look up parts prices
on hundreds of sites.
You don't replace any converter until you know you
have no engine cylinder misfires,proper fuel pressure,
fuel trim,no vacuum leaks,including exhaust,good or
new oxygen sensors
There is a reason why a converter fails
At 14 years of age ,sure, it's worn out, replace it.
Replace it your self

Replaced thermostat, radiator, fans kick on, changed catylatic converters, still over heats

The catalytic converter probably has nothing to do with the problem. Either the replacement thermostat is bad, or the there's something plugging your cooling system. Have you tried a radiator flush?

05' Dodge RAM 1500 code p0420. I've been changing oxygen sensors since u bought it 2 years ago, thought the problem was solved but yet again check engine light came on, could there be an other problem??

Hello: Code P0 420 indicates the catalytic converter is operating below calibrated efficiency (below 60%) replacing the oxygen sensors will not correct the condition. The converter needs to be replaced and the code cleared.

2003 hyundai tiburon check engine light

You're right, the PO154 has to do with the O2 sensor. The code has the info of Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 1).
Bank 2 is the exhaust manifold that cylinder #2 uses.
Sensor 1 is the sensor in BETWEEN the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter.
No Activity Detected in the circuit could mean the O2 sensor is dead, or an open/cut wire going to the sensor.
That's about all the info you can get out of that code PO154.
