2007 Ford Edge - Catalytic Converter Bank 2 - Where is its location?
I need to replace the Bank 2 cat and can't really find a diagram online telling me if Bank 2 is the one in the front of the car by the front of the engine or the one in the back.
First off I would doubt you need to replace the cat. If you are getting a 02 sensor code it only means the reading are out of spec and can be caused by many other things. That said I don't think you have but one cat, the thing you see in the rear is a resonator not a cat.
OBD code is P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2). From what I've read, it stems from the PCM going bad, frying a coil and the subsequent heat generated from the misfire causes the cat to get excessively hot, thus causing the cat failure.
Ford Edge has two cats -
5E212A (rear) and 5E212B (front)
I just can't find anything online that tells me which is Bank 2. Again, I'm guessing its the rear but want to be sure.
- Bank 1 and Bank 2 too lean? I have a 2004 ford taurus. About a month ago the CEL came on, ran to advanced auto to get a code and they said my bank 2 was too lean. Yesterday, got a code run again and they said bank 1 and 2 too lean. They said it was probably my oxygen sensors. The car has developed a rough idle when first starting up and has lost some power and acceleration. I plan to take it to a mechanic soon, but until then i'm trying to find out what the problem is. Any suggestions?
- Will a catalytic converter for a 6cyl 3.0 work on my 4 cyl 2.3? I own a 2004 Ford ranger with a 2.3L engine, but I wasn't able to find any catalytic converter for a good price, so I was wondering if a catalytic converter for a 3.0L would work fine on my car, since Catalytic converters for that engine are more widely available, thus cheaper. Btw I need the rear Catalytic converter, thanks
- On a 2000 ford ranger, will driving it without a catalytic converter cause valve issues? My ford ranger has had the cat removed (not by me!) and it is causing an O2 sensor code, of course, and an overly rich exhaust and poor fuel milage. Now, I know it needs fixed and I will when I get the time to get it to a muffler shop, but my question is, will driving it for a little while right now cause any valve trouble or any damage elsewhere?
- Do I need a catalytic converter? I have a 2000 Mustang Ford V6 3.8L I looked under the car and I did not see 1 catalytic converter, I saw some pictures supposedly I has 4? But mine just has 2 long pipes that just go from the engine to the mufflers and then exhaust pipe. It smells like gasoline when I start up the car. Will this damage anything?
