the 8yr/80K warranty on the cat is great info. Is there a thread that breaks down warranty covered items and miles/yrs?

I brought my Trans Am outta storage and did a tune-up on it and ran some seafoam through it. Bout 100 miles after my second bottle the CEL came on for the Cats.

I have been surfing around the web and think I might wiat until this tank of gas is gone and reset the comp and see what happens. I just think the light coming on and giving a cat related trouble code right after adding the seafoam is a little weird.

My brand new 2011 xlt with ecoboost 1600 miles on it,has a check engine light on p0430 code. Brought it to the dealer sat. They said they are gonna replace the cat, bank 2 spark plugs and coil. but they dont have them in stock they will need to order them monday. They are going to call Ford Monday to verify the problem, hopfully it won't take long to get the parts but at least I'm still driving my truck. He never said if it was the plugs or coil that caused this problem but I would think it would be a precausionary thing to do both?
