someone please help me
 

I have a 2002 v6 5-speed it is my love lol..but about 5 days ago the ses light came on and i took and had it put on diag computer and they pulled up 3-4 codes and the woman at advanced said it was probably the catalytic converter but then said if it clogged it would just kill the car i'm pretty sure the 1st code was po430 but i'm gonna take back up today and see if someone more knowledgeable will help me...it had not acted funny it was driving fine then yesterday i was accelerating through the gears it went fine through 1-3 then in 4th about 2500rpm it just felt like it collapsed for a split second like it lost all power then picked back up n was fine til 5th gear about 58mph and it did it again just for a second..i really need to know what someone with experience with camaros thinks...ive been told everything from the fuel pump/filter to converter to mass air flow sensors??please help if i had the money i wouldnt mind doing the process of elimination but my financial status is a lil less than usual! please help and thank you!

i have errands to run today but will be checking back in so please someone help me..it will be very much appreciated~ :(

You will prob have better luck in this section:

It is dedicated to 4th gen's

OBD II code 0430 could be a lot of things. The code indicates that the bank 2 downstream (After CAT) O2 sensor is reading that the CAT is not working properly (inefficent). The drivability issues may indicate an actual clogged converter, but I would replace the O2, clear the light and take it for a drive. If the Camaro is still having problems then you may have an exhuast leak or a clogged CAT. If I remeber correctly bank 2 is passenger side.

Hope this helps.

thanks guys i'll get all the codes and put em on here so you can have a better idea..though ive been told if the converter clogs it will completely kill the car?wont run at all?

i'm about to run up to advanced now so ill have all the correct codes in a bit n wat they mean hopefully they can just tell me the problelm..iu have a good mechanic he just isnt the best at diagnosis!

Cats do fall apart and get clogged. and that would explain loosing Power.

:popcorn:

I have a friend with a 2002 & he's about to put his 3rd set of cats on it
