found the same thing when I was trying to smog my `97 when I first got it running with the new 4v.

P/O neglected to tell me they hollowed out the damn cats, was really fun finding a 96-04 stock h-pipe on short notice [Roll Eyes]

Yup.... I found out the hard way. 96 and newer obd2 cars are such a pain .... The car I owned was throwing codes left and right , couldn't get it smoged . Couldnt register it , I traded my old 91 GT for it straight across . Bad decision on my part. Dude came up off me. Oh well you live and you learn.
