    idle problem

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey.

    This thing bothers me. When i drive everything seems fine. I recently changed sparkplugs and 1 coilpack.

    But when the car idles from time to time there is drop in rpms. Like cylinder misfire but it only happens during idle .

    Any ideas ?

    16804/P0420/001056 - Catalyst System; Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold

    I also get this check engine light.

    People say its catalyst converter but my car has only 27k miles.

    Thanks

    If it is indeed the cat, you're covered under the federal emissions 8 year/80k mile warranty/law. Bring it to the dealer and they'll replace it.
