| May 3, 2015 at 14:19 | comment | added | Anthony | So i should have added more info. My check engine light has been on for some time. When I get a scan on it, it says check catalytic converters, it doesnt really say check o2 sensors. So I guess I was just assuming that they are clogged, but your answer enlightened me a little about what could actuall happen. But because I have left it go for about 2 years now it has started to leak exhaust in the cab or at least the smell when i turn the heat on. And the motor makes a sound pretty much like what ford usually makes but it seems to be getting worse, like louder. Its cats are so expensive. | |
