I installed my lower engine mount (dogbone) and now the car is running terrible. THe car dies, falls on its face. Has no power. THe check engine light is on.I was thinking my cat converter but I just had a magnaflow high flow car installed less then 5000 miles ago.

Sounds like something unplugged.
Anything to look at?

What happen was I installed it. I also changed the oil. SO I started it up and no issues at all. I went to my girlfriends house. I told her that she could drive. SO she started it up and it instantly died. So she started it up. ANd this is how it has been running ever since. The exhuast litterally jumps around at idle.

Sounds like the Xerox machine at my work, it works for everyone else and then I hit print and the damn thing jams or has errors for no apparent reason.
It is possible that something came loose, like a vaccuum line during the install and came off during the ride over.

lower motor mount shouldn't have anything to do with these symptoms.. get the code scanned, and then fix whatever's wrong.

x2 I just installed the new upper and lower. For the lower, you wouldn't even be near taking off anything that could cause this..
Scan it.
My guess missfire codes.
Could be coincidence that it started misfiring or you did something
Whatever it is, your girlfriend is responsible. Don't let her touch your car ever again.
But in all seriousness, they developed the idea of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (the thing that's responsible for your CEL) for a reason- get it scanned and start from there.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but don't L61 cars use air-density systems? regardless, i'm with everyone else. it's pointless to guess when you can get it scanned for free.

All stock...........lol.
if you just did the oil , how about ??????????????????
lets try the IAT which sits right above the oil filter , either its unplugged , or the wire broke inside the plug , if you pull lightly on the wires going into the plug it usually will pull out kinda easy
it was the icm.

ICM eh? How many miles on the car? Seems like I should just get a spare ICM with all the dead ICM posts i've seen lateley
Don't buy from MANTAPART!!
There is no easy ways to get HP, no magic box or gizmo... And if you get more hp, there's no way to make your car still behave and sound like a stock one. More hp usually makes your car louder, more vibrations and harder to drive...but still people hope or think maby there's some magic way to have it all, comfort, stock sound and drive.
