Guess that's what I get for having four W-bodies, the newest of which is 2000.

The main reason I know that is because I have an 01 and it didn't have a cat when I got it.

But thats only if the rear 02 is faulty or unplugged right, if you just dont have a cat it would just throw the code correct? No bad MPGs or anything.

If the downstream o2 sensor is throwing a CEL, then you car is dumping fuel most likely. I could be wrong though.........

Mine was def dumping fuel not a doubt. I experimented cause I cleaned my exhaust tip. Ran with a code. Finally got it fouled and cleaned it again and still looks clean rather than black

Hopefully come Sunday I won't have to worry about it anymore.......
