    I have 115K and the check engine light stays on. For a few months it would
    clear itself and come back on a week or so later. It is a Code 67 for Low
    Catalytic Emissions threshhold. Honda parts want over $700 for the cat! I
    have searched the net and found only a couple listed as direct fit. Any
    suggestions on a reputable aftemarket seller. Also, is the O2 sensor
    difficult to remove and put in the new cat (hopefully the new cat will come
    with the hole for it!). Or am I better off buying a sensor also? Thanks in
    advance for any help.

    I think the emissions systems, including cat, are
    warranted beyond the 3 year honda warranty by
    law. It is worth a "look see". But $700! I am
    pretty sure that a new 02 sensor is required for the
    cat's warranty OEM or aftermarket anyhow.

    There is a special 02 wrench for removing them.
    It is a big socket that has a slot for the wire. A
    1/2" drive deep socket of the correct size can
    be used to get an old one out if you cut the wire(s).
