ok, i have 96 intrepid w/ 3.5l, bout a month ago i got a code 72 and from everything i read it's just a catalic coverter issue. which i am in no hurry to spend $ to fix catalitic coverter. so i reset the codes.
yesterday, check engine light came on and this time i got a 43 & 72. so i reset the computer and got the same codes as soon as i started it back up. also, while driving, you can feel a subtle spit/spudder or subtle herky jerk. i know what the 72 is, and from what i have read the 43 can be plugs, wires, or coil pack.
so what i need is some advice on what i can check before i spend alot of $ on wires and coil pack. and w/ my luck, it will be neither.
so if anyone can tell me some easy diagnosis tips, that would help a bunch.
also i read that you can take your vehicle to autozone to have them diagnosis the codes further. if this is true, what do i need to ask them when i go in? one more thing, the code 72 catalic cov issue, in my mind is not something i need to replace ASAP. am i correct in thinking this or should i get to gettin that replaced also.
thanks again for all the help and advice.
