Yup. We can't help figure out what's wrong without the diagnostic trouble code...

Alright well thanks anyways, I was wondering if there were common problems with it. Like on my moms 03 CRV the check engine light comes and goes and weve replaced the o2 sensor multiple times. Just wanted to see if it was something like that. Ill take it it, keeping my fingers crossed on this one!

Just go to autozone or something. They'll read the code for free. Report back to us, we'll see what we can do to help you fix it.

Shop labor rates vary by area and even within certain areas shop to shop. Did they tell you what the code was?

Replacing the cat is not labor intensive but the part itself is expansive, especially the original one; if ur on budget u might consider welding a universal cat

If where you live doesn't do visual inspections, I'd just do a mechanical O2 simulator.. That'll run you all of $5 and 30 minutes of your time..
