Default o2 and Converter

How much are o2 sensors ruffly? Also will a bad Cataylic converter cause the car not to start?

advance auto sells bosch for $60 a piece for the universal ones and $70 for the direct fit ones... the universal ones need the plug off the old o2 sensor and they have all the pieces to easily splice them together so save yourself the $10... Also you may want to get their o2 sensor socket loaner tool to make life a little easier...
good luck

Depends on condition of converter if totaly plugged or nearly so then might want to start mayeven start but will dy soon after. I had one that was just like starting a 2gn neon with the unchipped key. Start and immediately dye out.

do not buy anything bosch for your car, just like apc its garbage. there are other brands out there. the cat price is going to vary but check out this sitehttp://www.car-parts.com I recently bought an alternator for $14.95 from a ohio yard and it cost $26 shipped with no core charge because of them having to ship it. you won't need the loaner tool, a wrench will work fine. might have some probs getting it out so using some penetrating lub would really help out which is a great investment for future use and doesn't have to be returned. cost under $5 at advanced auto ( partsamerica.com) good luck
