    98 Accord V6 with 108,000 miles

    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.
