2003 Mitsubishi Lancer 4dr Sedan

catalytic converter needed to be replaced but even after that, it did not pass the emission test. CEL still on. So finally, I had to change the car computer. The dealership told me it will need to be re-calibrated but because it was taken from exactly the same car, it worked perfectly.
