Thanx Rotsaruck.. Right now my Solara is at the Toyota Dealer being worked on. I started my car after thw whole incident and a lot of black smoke shot out my exhaust. The check engine light was still flashing until my car warmed up. After that the light just stayed on. I took it to a Toyota dealer about 20 mins from my house and they gave me a hard time getting a rental car. They also tried to say I put the wrong plugs in my car and said it wouldn't be fixed under warrantee. Being upset at this.. I drove past my house to the other dealer. 35 minutes later the check engine light began flashing again and taking off from a stop was slow. At least I made it to the dealer. When I spoke to the Mechanic there, he told me that my CAT was fried and needed to be replaced. Until then they gave me a 2003 Highlander to drive.., free of charge. After talking to a co-worker, he mentioned that the CATs should be removed when having injectors cleaned. That it causes the parts inside the CAT to burn. He also says that the guy shouldn't have had my car reved up past 2000RPMs during the process. At any rate, I'm having fun with this Highlander.. Its like an SUV Solara. Da RobDude
