Just an update.
The new converter from Toyota didn't solve the problem. The mechanic ended up replacing the distributor. He said that the cam sensor needed to be replaced. Could this have been the root cause for why the catalytic converter failed? Also, should I be concerned about the fact that the check engine never came on?
I am also deciding whether to keep the car or sell it. The car has 131K. What other repairs can I expect in the next 10-20K miles. As I stated, I have replaced the front oil seals, the oil pump, radiator, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gaskets, wires, plugs, distributer, water and heater hoses, front and top engine mounts, front axles, egr valve and modulator, both oxygen sensors and both catalytic converters. How long does the alternator, starter fuel pump last? Any other big ticket items that could go?
