Q&A

We don't have emission checks in our states, but they tried the glass things lastnight and they don't fit, so should we try to call a junkyard to have them check and see if I can get some there, they are like $350.00 on each side new at Advance Auto Parts. Also, it really misses bad when you try going up a hill, would that be the cat converters or a fuel pump? I am at a loss as to what to do next....Thanks...

Going uphill causing the stutter in acceleration is a telltale sign of catalytic converter failure. You may be able to get a better price at a 'mom or pop' style repair shop on the converters. Going to a salvage yard is okay but cats. don't come with a guarantee at a salvage yard. This style may need cut and welded in but the savings should make it the most affordable option.

Ok, I talked to a local mechanic here in our community who is known to be one of the best and he says that the cats wouldn't cause the miss at all. He says that I need new coils and plugs definately. He said for me to buy new plugs and two new coils and troubleshoot them until I find the right ones that are bad. But someone else told me to replace all the coils at the same time or the other ones could go out later. My vehicle has 218,000 miles and I don't want to put a lot of money into it at this point, but I do want it to run decent. We found some cats. from someone and we are going to go ahead and put those on, they are from another Navigator. This vehicle is becoming more than I want to deal with.
