I have tried the codes. With the old ETA I couldn't clear them. I replaced with a rebuilt one by BBA and was able to clear the codes on pins 4, 7, 8. Pins 17 and 19 had no errors. Took car for 15 min drive, cat went red again so I stopped. None of the codes had come back.
I don't know if the $175 dealer computer diagnostic is worth it, unless there are more hidden codes that I can't see.
The plugs are OK. There is no smell of raw fuel in the engine, only at the exhaust.
There is loss of power. The car feels like < 100hp, but it's driveable. The RPM stay higher, due to this (e.g. 2100 at 65mph as opposed to about 1500 before).
I could care less about the power, but the raw fuel will cause the cat to heat up a lot again and cause another fire. The car is not drivable. Not to mention it will not pass next smog check and I won't be able to renew the registration.
