[Lov'n'Da'Catera]

Thanks for the replys guys and i will try to to go over everything you guys have mentioned.

I bought two magnaflow cats but im affraid to put them on and still not pass the etest.

I also went to gm and found out that we indeed do not have an egr in our cars and also to find out what i could about my problem and they couldnt be much help, all they could really tell me is that there is some sort of pump that shoots air into the exhaust and they say if its not working that it could be causing my problem, they couldnt tell me exactly where it is but after looking at the pictures on there computer then checking my car it seems to be underneith the drivers side of the front bumper, but then again im not sure? I priced it out and gm wants 950$ but i can source it used from a buddy for 40$

Has anyone herd of this pump being a problem?

Gm also told me it just might be my thermistat just not working right and causing the motor to heat up.

As far as codes go i do have an evap code comming up on my reader but everyone has reasured me that this wouldn't be causing my problem.

I have only driven my catera for about three weeks now and have never owned one before so im not sure exactly how they are suppose to run as in temp. My car tends to run usually half or a little over and sometimes it will will a tick or just a bit over but usually my fans will come on and it will go back to about half. Is this normal?
