Various Problems/Possible Catalytic Converter
I am experiencing various new problems with my 86 GMC Safari. It started using way more gas, losing power, using more oil, and seems to be spitting black soot out the tailpipe. I just had the spark plugs and wires changed, then it started doing this. Someone told me it was possibly a catalytic converter issue, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or previous experience with something like this.

Re: Various Problems/Possible Catalytic Converter
I don't know what the problem might be but your astro van is 20 years old, you should just be glad you got that many years out of it.

Re: Various Problems/Possible Catalytic Converter
Phtt! That's nothing out of an Astro.
Are you getting a CES or SES light? If so what codes are set in the computer?

Re: Various Problems/Possible Catalytic Converter
my 86 Safari had over 250k miles when i sold it two years ago and last month it passed me on the freeway. i'd know it anywhere as it was a customized van and still had the mudflaps and crack in the real taillight it put on it.
how long since a full tuneup, including those pain in the butt to change sparkplug wires?
