Engine Issues, OBD Read, what is it?
I have a 2000 Honda Civic DX. It's a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder with 133,000 Miles. My check engine light came on yesterday, and the gas mileage went down pretty terribly. The car seems to be performing fine, with the exception of my gas needle moving faster than usual. The car does have an exhaust leak, that I plan on getting fixed. The code that read was a Catalyst Threshold One. Can someone narrow down what they think I need to have replaced?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

For the other 1%, where is this exhaust leak you speak of? Leaks can lead to a false fail code.
Before someone replaces the cat, they need to determine what killed the current cat.
Even a brand new cat can be killed in only a few minutes.
