2007 Kio Rio
Getting code for several months:
P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency below Threshold - Bank 1.
Car is getting less and less power over time.
Takes a long time to get up to speed.
If I do the heat test with an infrared tester, what should the front-back difference be to indicate a bad cat?
I assume that if the front is almost the same as back its plugged?
Before paying up to $1800 to replace the converter on the manifold I wanted to see if there are any other common problems that could cause this problem.
Front (manifold ) converter: $1800 replacement/ $1657 for part only
Rear (Under car) converter: $1474 replacement/ $1379 for part only
Replacement part only from my parts place:
$679 / $248
Also...
I have an elm320 ODBii tester that displays data on my smart phone but I get no data for the O2 sensors.
Is that normal (Kia ECM not sending that data) or could there be a problem with my ECM
