I will contact the BBB, and Idaho Attorney General, and the EPA. I have been working so much I haven't been able to write the letter.

It doesn't apply to used cars. I checked in the state of idaho. When they have the as is paper in the window of a used car, it is just that....Once you drive it off the lot, there is no turning back.

Here is a picture of my Vibe.

I bought it from a Used Car Dealer. Thanks for the info, I will try to contact them again and if I don't get any action, I'll flie a complaint with the BBB, Idaho Attorney General and EPA.I may be able to get them to pay for the wiring too, because the wiring caused it to not comply with the clean a...

Well, I would like to thank everyone who gave me advice and posted manual pages. I wanted to give an update on my car that I bought that had the Cat missing.Problems-Cat cut out with an exhaust leak-wiring harness that had been hacked upToyota Dealership's solution; buy a new wiring harness ($1200 p...

So I am guessing that it won't work? I took my Vibe to the Pontiac Dealer today and they checked the fuel injectors and they are fine (although the tech screwed up one of the Injector Seals and cannot get it to seal again so now they have to order one). They are looking into the wiring harness. Afte...

I am going to try, but in Idaho the lemon law doesn't apply to used vehicles without a manufacturer warranty. It also doesn't cover alterations to the stock vehicle.We will see....

Some of you may have been reading about my mis-adventure buying a Vibe GT.When I bought it, it didn't have a Catalytic Converter and the CEL was on. After reading the MIL, the Misfire in 1,3,4 seemed to be related to the Catalytic Converter, O2 Sensor, and Mass Air Flow. Of which I have replaced the...

I had a Catco Catalytic Converter installed this morning. It is running better, but not right. After I picked my car up I drove around until it was warm then went to Checker and cleared the CEL. I drove around some more and it came on again.Crap!

Most definately, thanks again kevera!!!

The front O2 Sensor is new....

I scanned my Vibe today and it had P0125 error code about the coolant wasn't able to function in a closed loop. Is that an error in the thermostat or the sensor?

Is the Vibe GT exhaust Stainless Steel?

Thanks for the pdf. Would you post pages 11-7, 11-5 and 10-12...Those are a couple things I haven't checked.Thanks,

Anyone have a suggestion for a good hi flow cat for a Vibe GT?

What is the compression supposed to be in a 2zz GT? I have access to a compression guage.

I am misfiring in 1,3,4. I switched coil packs 1 and 2. Cleared the CEL, then drove it again, when CEL came on again, I checked the error codes and again it was misfiring on 1,3,4. So I am comfortable that the coil packs are good, or at least coil pack 1.What does the stock ECU say on top of it? I c...

I run 91 octaneI put new NGK Iridium plugs in last weekend.I have 59k on it.

I used STP Injector cleaner in the last two tanks of 91 octane. It hasn't helped....

I know, the problem is that now the car is idling crappy and the dealer won't help fix it without installing a cat and they want $1000 to fix it....If I'm going to install a cat, I would rather invest in some aftermarket cats and have the muffler shop weld them in.But if I can fix the problem withou...

I looked underneath the car and the second Cat has been replaced with a straight pipe. It sounds like I replaced the second sensor when I needed to replace (bank 1). When I replaced the second sensor the O2 error went away and hasn't come back.

I just warmed up my vibe (-15 in Idaho) after unplugging the 02 sensor. It runs better without the O2 sensor plugged in.Will this damage my car if I drive it for a few days without it plugged in?My Vibe sounds like it is lobingYou know like when you install a meaty cam in a small block chevy. I inst...

I will try to post a picture this weekend. I don't get home until after dark. I would like to try and bypass the o2 sensor to mimic the cat is there so I can determine if the real problem is the cat or something else. Does anyone know the normal signal range that returns back to the ECU?

So that is what I hear, I just found out that you cannot buy Cats from junk yards. My point is only that I don't have to pass emissions.I like my car, I just want to find a good solution to have it run great. It would be nice if it were inexpensive. If my only solution is to get the cats then possib...

There is the muffler at the back, then a expanded portion of the pipe that is long, about 18-24" long that sits under the back seat.Is that a resonator or cat? That is the piece I am calling that the resonator.

I saw two sensors, one that connected to the wiring harness near the center console, that is the one I replaced. The other sensor looked like it went into the exhaust after the resonator which came up through the floorboard by the back seat. When I was under the car, I didn't look for the cats. I ha...

That is what I was thinking, but I dont know enough about vehicles with ECUs. I can rebuild internal combustion engines, but I am still learning about the sensor stuff. Basically I don't know enough to call BS on them and they won't do anything more to help me until I install catalytic converters.

I am in Idaho, there aren't any emissions laws....In my 72 chevy I ran headers to cherry bombs,Small block chevy with cherry bombs sounds great!!

The idle was always rough. I get the 300 errors 1,3,4I replaced the mass air flow and O2I took it to the dealer and they said they couldn't troubleshoot the problem without the Cat.I asked further and in discussion he said that the lack of Cat, with the signal from the o2 sensor could make it run ri...

I bought a Vibe GT 2003 and it idles rough. I took it to the Toyota dealership and they found out the Catalytic Converters are missing. They want me to buy a new exhaust for $600+ and $400 for installation.What are my options. Noone around will give me options other than, install a Catalytic convert...

I didn't think so either. It just doesn't make sense. I think they just want to sell me more expensive parts. I am taking to the shop tomorrow morning. I'll see what they have to say.Thanks everyone!

It only runs rough when it idles when it is warm. It runs fine when I am driving. I put a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank. I am half through the tank and it is still causing problems. The CEL isn't flashing though.

I have a question about using a bosch 02 sensor in an 03' Vibe GT. I just spoke with a Toyota Mechanic and he said that my P0300, P0301, P0303 and P0304 errors were from replacing a bad O2 sensor with a Bosch Sensor.Has anyone else heard or experienced it?Thanks,
