Greetings to all the wonderful contributors here
Please your help is seriously and urgently needed.
I just confirmed my catalysts converter was stolen. It's a 2004 accord i4 ex.
Two weeks ago I was having terrible hard-starting, my electrician fixed the fuel pump and discovered the fuel tank is filled with lots of water and mudlike substance. He recommended a nearby mechanic I never used before to remove and wash the tank which was done.
For the next two weeks I had terrible fuel consumption. Trips of 3 fuel weekly became over 8k. And a terrible shattering sound was steadyly increase by days. I thought it will clear but became worse. I google it yesterday and confirm it's a stolen catalysts symptom. I confronted him, and after several attempts to derail and denial, he became remorseful and pleaded that I bring back the car first thing in the morning that he will "correct the wrong''. He never categorically admited he stole it. But his colleagues are witnesses and begged in his behalf not to have him arrested or escalate the matter.
I need professional advice, what is the best measure I should employ to have my car back in shape without suspected deceptive and temporary fix

For that accord, a missing cat converter will not cause an increased fuel consumption, except catalyst was removed & replaced with foreign object..

again kendo?

Good day everyone. Please I recently bought a Honda accord 95. I want to change the ATF fluid but don't know which to use. The former owner and mechanic advised that I can use abro Dextron ATF but I'm a bit scared. Please would appreciate your help

thebigkendo:


If you are unsure and no issue with your transmission, ATF inside is not burnt... Leave it alone!!!!!!

I wonder why there isn't another angle to this,I was told to leave my EOD transmission fluid alone for 6+ years until it failed!

Can't there be a gradual(every 4weeks city drive) draining off and filling simultaneously of the fluid? i.e take off ½liter unknown fluid, fill back ½liter recommended fluid every month till circle completes. Just thinking!

Missing catalytic converter will not affect fuel consumption to that level.

Most times its a bad Air/fuel ratio sensor. I just recovered from that same issue.

In my case, it was Air fuel ratio sensor and knock sensor. I also tried to change my fuel pressure control valve but didn't get the right one so i clean the one inside. My fuel consumption is down to normal.

You should confirm with a scan.

Took me forever to find this post again

https://greengarageblog.org/13-removing-catalytic-converter-pros-and-cons

thebigkendo:


what would you expect from a "GREEN" garage..

My statement started with "For that Accord" ...so i was specific, i did not generalize the statement

in the link you posted, they were speaking "generally"

Again i am speaking from experience, I have been driving mine(same generation) for years with No Cat
I drove for a year with a P0420 code, then hoping to increase MPG ,i cleared the P0420 by installing a spacer on the downstream O2 sensor.. Same MPG no change..
A friend has the same car...He bought it sometime last year, clean toks, catalyst is intact with no MIL, his MPG is better than mine by 1 -2 and he does more highway driving while i do city driving.

From the same post oh..
On Pros
Point 2 You can achieve better gas mileage
Then Cons
Point 5 You will pay more for fuel

I noticed the seeming contradiction too but read the context and it's a typo. I didn't notice the "on this Accord' part before because we had this conversation before about another vehicle
