Check the litterbox. If it's clean at the end of the day, then your cat's definatly clogged.

ROFL. Yes he does. Anyway, my friend has early 90's Grand Am. One day after a drive, someone noticed a glow under his car. It was his converter. It melted his cruise control and messed up his firewall. That's when you know it's bad.

On a previous car I owned I discovered that my problems were related to a bad cat and realised this by parking my car in a dark garage after a long drive and the cat was glowing bright orange.

I'm sorry Ovrclck. I had too, you made that one easy. Don't feel bad, I got KED about a week ago with the freight train thing.

On a more technical note. I would consider placing a little ex-lax in your cat's diet to free it up.

I tried the ex-lax, but the owner of the cat complained. My girlfriend said that wasn't helping anything and I should wait a week.


OK, that was wrong, nevermind. It's 2:00 and I'm tired.

Well yes if your cat is glogged it will build up excessive heat and will glow after driving a fair distance, not like 5 miles. Another tell tell sign is that your car gets bad gas milage and does not perform as well as it used to under load, like going up a hill. Anoth thing is if you hit it and it rattles there is a good chance that it is bad because of too much crap breaking loose inside and falling where its not suposed to be.

Compliments again
Rap it.
If it's rattles, it's history.
IF it's lots of miles, go get one anyway, will only help!
They do not last forever
