I hollowed out my cat and now I get code 32 at closed loop (or maybe open I always forget which is which). should I put a pipe in the cat? what hoses should I check? how much is a new egr anyways?

street kills: a lot of "family" cars, pickups, New v-6 stang, totally killed '86 SC Camaro, 91 z 28 with 305
next month: rest of ultimate tbi

 

Had the same thing in '90 vette. Was like chasing a ghost. Changed sensors,etc. Apparently, the car runs some sort of self-diagnostic; and with the combination of age, free flowing exhaust,etc- the computer wasn't responding "fast enough" to these tests. After talking with several GM reps and corvette and performance shops, I just got a chip from Ed Wright that deleted the test and therefore the code. However, before you just delete it- have it tested and make sure all is functioning well.
This is just what I've heard/done- thought I'd pass it along.

Replace your gutted cat with a new one from Car Sound, Catco, or Random Technology, etc. The fine for gutting or removing your cat is up to $10,000 and/or jail time, if you get caught. And it'll make your code 32 go away.

I know I should have a cat and I will get a better one when I have the money, but I don't have emissions.
