Catalytic converter shows as an error message and check engine light and will need likely replacement. the heater does not work on the car, likely due to the heater core. i just purchased the car and it had a recently replaced o2 sensor that was unplugged as its initial reason for the check engine light. there may be other cars with similar problems, and i wanted to report it because these are costly repairs.
