Could a motor mount result in a CEL?
Allow me to explain...
When I put my car in reverse I get a big jolt due to a bad rear motor mount. As a result, the top portion of the OEM y-pipe has suffered a small crack and is causing a minor exhaust leak which I believe is giving me a P0420 CEL code. Am I making an accurate assumption? I'd like to also mention I just changed my catalytic converter with a brand new aftermarket cat (for the second time this year) & my O2 sensor was replaced at the beginning of 2011 with an OEM O2 sensor. With that being said, I highly doubt the cat or sensor are throwing this code. What do you guys think it could be?
