| Feb 2017135588 miUS $500 | Had a hard start / high idle issue, plus I got a check engine light that said one of the 4 catalytic converters was bad.

The high idle / hard start issue was fixed by tracking down vacuum leaks (new intake gaskets and PCV hoses), cleaning throttle body (buildup near throttle plate was causing problems), and performing the idle air volume learning procedure. | ||
