    Hey all, I live in the East Bay in California and, surprise, I had to replace a stolen catalytic converter. I haven't really driven it and then I took a 35 mile or so round trip drive and it started to jerk. When I went to start it the next morning it was rattling, not consistently charging, and the check engine light is on. Can it be related to to the cat replacement. I haven't had a bit of trouble with the car until this. 151K miles, always well maintained. You can hear the sound here.


    The video was too big add.

    Do you work on cars?

    Yes: check for error codes and report back.

    No: take it to your regular mechanic. If you don't think it is safe to drive because of "jerking" then have it towed there.
