I have in rare circumstances, cut off the part of the rusted pipe and install the rubber heater hose on the good section.

This engine was one of the worst engines I ever worked on because of the design and extremely tight work space…

I have also had to replace the entire heater pipe before, and they was a pain to do, but the pipe does rust out in areas you can’t see. I hope that you can do what I have described above:) it would be the easiest repair

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=112886]Glad you got it solved, thanks for the update. A couple of things.

First, a sulfur smell from the exhaust does not mean a catalytic converter is going bad. That smell is sulfur. There is no sulfur in the catalytic converter, it’s found in some fuels. As that fuel burns the sulfur is released and you get the smell.

As for checking for a clogged catalytic converter, that’s actually quite simple.

It’s not always a catalytic converter either. It can be a muffler or double wall pipe that goes bad internally that can cause an exhaust restriction.

Once again I’m glad you got it sorted out. Thanks for the updates and for using the ETCG forum.[/quote]
thanks Eric! and I watched the video,vary informative, and easy for the DIYers to do

[quote=”Tristan” post=112766]Well it turned out that i had a busted transmission cooler hose and it ran the transmission dry.. Cut the bad section and replaced it with rubber Line and hose clamps and topped off the fluid, now all is well![/quote]
good to hear that you had an easy fix:)…I like those:):)
now I have to ask, how did you top off the fluid?
