Q: Chrysler Sebring keeps setting codes even after replacing several parts
This car has the Mitzubishi 2.4 ltr engine in it. It started when it pulled 0421- 0102- 0202- 0106 codes, I changed the MAF sensor, bought new plugs and wires, and a new coil. Then just the 0421 code came up. We checked the warm up cat and most of the insides were melted. The engine was just rebuilt at 150,000 and the code came up right after it was rebuilt. But anyway, we knocked out everything inside the cat and now it is pulling 0101, 0202, 0108 will these codes come up because of the cat or is there another problem we are not seeing?
