Exhaust Manifold are expensive

Thursday on my way home from work my check engine light started flashing. I went to AutoZone to buy one of those computers you hook up to the car so you can read the error code. To my surprise when I asked if they had them the salesman brought one out and hooked it to my car and gave me the reading for free! Bad news though, a catalytic converter error code was read and all 4 pistons were misfiring. I took the car to AutoTire in Sunset Hills. Their technician said the exhaust manifold was cracked and needed to be replaced. Since next month I need to renew my license plate I went ahead and had them do the state inspections. The estimate to replace the exhaust manafold and the catalytic converter (apparently the two are manufactured as one part by Honda) was around $1500. They recommended I also replace 3 belts that looked pretty ratty and the fuel filter which the tech. said looked like the original. Two Thousand dollars later I hope AutoTire has everything is taken care of.
