It's more likely that the employees at Autozone are retarded.

He tried to tell me there was an electrical problem with my car. Okay buddy. Went back the next day and someone who actually knew what he was doing plugged in the damn thing, and finally picked up on my lean code . So aggravating to deal with numbskulls...

ok. so i had it scanned a few times and they told me the same thing...egr valve and the cat. the egr, i knew since i got the car the cel has been on but now im thinking because of my intake, its creating more air flow coming in than going out, hence, the cat problem. but i have a question...should i get a new universal cat for only $200, or get the one that fits my car for like $1000, which i would rather not do. also, i want to get an exhaust anyway, so do you think if i do so, it would get rid of my problem??

new EGR lines shouldnt cost that much (junk yard) and for the CAT problem try using some sea foam it could just be some back up in the cat

I don't know what's wrong with your car, but this isn't true.

The engine is only going to move as much air as it can. If it can't move as much because the exhaust is restrictive, then it's not going to pull as much in. Your problem lies elsewhere.
