    Just had my Accord scanned..Code has been, coming and going. Showed a
    P0420.
    Catalsyt efficiency below threshold bank 1. A new converter costs 800
    dollars. The
    service manager, says the cat is comming apart inside. Any advice?

    110,000 miles on the speedometer.

    I advise you to take it to several different muffler shops and get
    estimates on the cost of a now cat. converter. If you can do the work
    yourself--visit a magazine shop and buy a copy of a magazine entitled
    "Honda Tuning". There should be some ads in the magazine from companies
    that offer great deals on cat. converters.

    Thanks Grumpy for the comeback...I am concerned about the stiff Emission
    Control
    Inspection in western Pa. Being that it is a LEV vehicle,the aftermarket cat
    might not
    do the job.
