'99 Civic Heat Shield rattle, MIL comes on
I'm hearing a rattling sound from my 1999 Civic LX, a frind of mine removed
the heat shield over my muffler as it was literally not being held on by anything. There is still a rattling, probably from a heat shield further up, and now my Malfunction Indicator Lamp is on. From what I've researched on the net, it sounds like my catalytic converter may not be working.... Any suggestions? |

Its probably just a coincidence unless you damaged one of the O2 sensors removing the heat shield. |

Re: '99 Civic Heat Shield rattle, MIL comes on
Funny that you mentionned... I had my heat shield (for my catalytic
converter) removed a few months back and now my "Check Engine" light came on. Hope it ain't related.... And I heard that most honda civic's has this problem, why hasn't Honda addressed this ??
