I TOOK OUT MY CATS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND AND SMOG PUMP ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO, I WAS READING A THREAD THAT IT WILL PUT UR CAR IN "SAFE MODE" OR LIMP MODE" EXACTLY WHAT DOES THAT DO N HOW BAD WILL IT AFFECT PERFORMANCE?

 

If you have a car with ODBI it won't care what you do to the cats, but will set a trouble light regarding the AIR pump. If yoy have OBDII then the car will set a code about the cat and AIR pump not working. The car will go into open loop mode, ignore the MAF sensor and at WOT use a pre programmed fuel maps which are not as efficient as when the MAF is operating. It will have somewhat less power.

 

HEY PETE THANKS A LOT MAN THATS GONNA HAVE TO BE AN ISSUE I HAVE TO ADRESS PRETTY SOON NOW, I WAS PLANNING ON DOING A FEW WEEKS AGO ALONG WITH MY TUNE UP BUT THAT AND A FEW TICKETS I HAVE ENDED UP LEAVING ME PRETTY BROKE SO HOPEFULLY ILL BE DOING IT NEXT PAYCHECK... I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION THO, AM I HURTIN ANYTHING BY DRIVING IT LIKE THIS? BCUZ THIS CAR IS MY DD SO IF I AM WOOD IT B WISE TO PARK IT TILL I CAN AFFORD THE TUNE?

 

The car is not being hurt, but you should get the PCM tuned and delete the AIR and CAT. Talk to the people at PCM for less, they will provide a PCM tuned to your car on an exchnage basis. www.pcmforless.com
