HELP... Error Code P0421, "Warm Up Catalyst Below Threshhold"
Can anyone help me?
Plugged an OBD II scanner in today and found out my CEL is on because of "P0421" "Warm Up Catalyst Below Threshhold"...
I don't have a service manual and I don't know what the warm up catalyst is. Feel free to call me an idiot, and tell me I know nothing about my car, but after doing so, please give me some advice. Is this something I can fix on my own? Can a "generic" shop take care of this for me? Do I need to go to Mitsubishi (please, please, don't tell me that...)?
Any help will be appreciated and probably reciprocated, if you live around me. Feel free to AIM me or give me a call or whatever. Cell's 714.716.6102. Name's Scott.
Thanks

nope. only mods are breather mods... short ram intake and exhaust. stock headers intact. i don't think the aftermarket header guys were getting the same error code anyway...

k, got it figured out; exhaust manifold was bad (cracked, whatever... service manager didn't tell me, cuz his tech didn't tell him), but they're putting a new on one under warranty, so i'm not stressin'.
