One mroe suggestion as well. Its far fetched but it happend to me in an older car. I burned up both my cats in my old car. the reason... running to rich for too long. I am not sure how exactly it happend or how to check for it but i know that the cats burned up and had to much carbon build up to light off. between that and super crap gas i wasnt passin smog. got a new exhaust with new cats in it, it was stock just new and i passed smog with flying colors. just something to check if you were dinged as a gross polluter maybe you burned that ish up
