Re: 98 Accord EX - catalytic converter ??
What's your mileage on your car. My light came on at 72,000 miles on my 99
Accord EX. There's a government warranty on the cat but the catch it's 80,000 miles. I'm sorry I can't remember how may years though. My cat was replaced at no charge.

Re: 98 Accord EX - catalytic converter ??
it's 8 years 80,000 miles. and don't be so sure it is the cat converter.
Many times one of the oxygen sensors will pop the code for the converter. So have them (the shop) make sure the cat is actually bad and it's just not one of the o2 sensors.

Re: 98 Accord EX - catalytic converter ??
Well mine was the CAT according to the dealer. They replaced the CAT (no
charge to me) no service light after almost 5 months and my gas mileage has gone up as well. That's all I know. Rick.
