Looks like I have to replace the cat. Is the car safe to drive until I get it into the shop?


60 miles daily on highway...


TIA

No prob. No harm done.

And that code is P-zero, not P-oh. As in P0420.

I had the same situation. Drove with the Check Engine light on for about 500 miles. Honda dealer said it was OK. Checked the code and needed a cat converter. Was told it would cost $1000. Honda only covers to 80K and I had 108K. I complained and actually got them to pay for

1/2 which saved me $500. Ask them about it.
