Who are you taking the van to?  Were the readings before the cat
significantly different than those after?

I'd suggest taking it to Import Car Specialists at 16th St and Indian School
- 602-265-6412 - talk to Ray,
Or Myer's European on McClintock and McKellips.  Their # is 480-946-5200.

Good luck,

Karl Wolz
