I always feel bad asking questions about my beater on this forum, but the ppl on the Shaturn forum are no help. Anyway, My 2001 Saturn L-200 just started throwing a P-0410 code or a secondary air injection system malfunction. Its something to do with the air pump and emission controls that help to avoid releasing unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide on cold starts. I plan on getting it fixed but don't have the time at the moment. I just want to know if driving the car around with this problem can be detrimental. For example, can it cause problems for the catalytic converter?

Re: throwing code P0410
luckily there are no emissions where I'm from. Even so, I'm gonna look into replacing the cat this upcoming weekend. I reset the computer and the code hasen't come back on so hopefully that's all it is. What kind of cat should i go with on a manual 2.2L Saturn L-200. OEM or should i go for high-flow on this car?

Re: throwing code P0410
usually when the cat is bad it is like code p0420 or something like that. So it might not of been your cat, but yea a high flow one will be fine on it. Is there a o2 sensor after your cat though? Might need an o2 sim with the high flow cat

Re: throwing code P0410
o2 sim replaces the stock o2 sensor. Good luck getting your hands on one cheap. The government went after casper and now I'm not even sure if oyu cna touch theirs for under 100.Car expresses who you are.

Re: throwing code P0410
My cat went, and it completely bogged the motor down...Bad deal on the interstate, I had to keep it on the floor just to get to the shoulder....boy it'd idle great, but under any throttle just choked.
