my car is running stronger than ever!

Well, I had a misfire code on cylinder 1, so I replaced the wires, plugs, and went ahead and did the fuel filter. Still sluggish and had no power! The check engine light was on, and I thought it was the "misfire mystery" so I took it to my dealership, and they said it had a misfire code stored, and was currently throwing a catalystist code.

So I take it up there today, got the cat replaced for free (warranty has paid for itself already) and my car is stronger than the day I got it! It also stopped making this annoying rattling noise that I thought was from a muffler clamp. the tech said it was the cat all along making that noise, and that it was finally getting plugged up.

I am so happy! But since I have had to replace so much **** on my car, I am just fartin around now...but hey, I got new plugs, wires, and a fuel filter, so I am good to go for the long trip to college! I only got on it a lilttle bit today after I got it, just to make sure it was running alright. Just thought I would share......
