In October the driver and rear catalytic converters became clogged in turn heating up the transaxle and causing unrepairable defects. In December, I began smelling gas fumes and checked under the hood, I noticed that there was a leak from the top of the fuel injector rail in the passenger rear of the engine. Water pump was replaced in May 2002 and again in December 2002. In December a pulley and piston were also replaced
