I took it to a good local muffler shop. Turns out the cat was clogged. Had it replaced.

Thanks for the swapping tip. I'll give that a try. I assuming we're talking about swapping out the sensor at the cats right?

So I just replaced my COPs and spark plugs on my '01 V8 and still seem to have a missfire problem when the car isn't at it's full running temp. I've got a CEL light that says P0420 (Catalyst system below efficiency) on bank 1. So I figure it's either an o2 sensor or a cat. I've only got a...

Has anyone had a problem with water getting into your spark plug wells and damaging coil packs? I made a pretty detailed video. http://youtu.be/0f7Jp1Jf2RU Any help I can get would be much appreciated.

Here's the update: The battery charge took about 2 hours until the charger read "full charge". My LS started right up, just gave it the wait to learn the idle again. I'll have to replace the battery soon. Lame, but could be much worse. Any tips on where to get a good deal on the battery? Also...

So, it's my birthday today; I wen't out to my car to and turn the ignition. I heard the alternator try to start the car, but after about a second that sound changed to a slightly duller version of it (which you'll here in a video I'll provide a link to). And now that I've tried starting it a...

Thanks for everybody's input! So what is a good deck for under $300 that has iPhone integration, including phone, navigation, and capable of the steering wheel controls (with adapter obviously) to control music?

Thanks for the info. I contacted the company, they had amazing customer service, BUT, if it has been proven to be a poor product I'd stay away from it. Any suggestions to a specific deck with either iPod connectivity and retains navigation from the iPhone?

Steering wheel controls are kept. In fact that was the selling point for me on this over another deck that looks nicer. I really like the idea of using my phone as navigation actually on the center console and the app that runs the deck has super customizable EQ which is a big plus for me...

I'm gonna swap my stock deck out my '01 LS. It's the Alpine with 6 disk changer in the glove box and "subs" in the trunk. The good people at Sonic Electrnix told me all the parts I'll need. But I'm worried about 2 things: -Will using an aftermarket deck affect the use of the LS's external...
