The ol tundra has a check engine light on...... it's the downstream oxygen sensors saying that poor catalytic converter efficiency/below threshold. I replaced the oxygen sensors a few months ago but had a feeling it was gonna be the cats. My question is that rather than spending $1000 on factory cats, what's to keep me from removing my current cats and running a rebar rod through them and knocking all that honeycomb out? We did this to my old Ford f-250 with a granny low 5 speed and 7.5L big block and it made it run alot better. I suspect my other problem is that I would need to get some type of fooler for those downstream sensors. The other two upstream sensors are are the ones that control the air/fuel mixture so even if the check engine light is on, it should still perform well correct Matt Franks?
