My mechanic told me that the EGR blew because of back pressure and heat. He advised that I have a 'blockage' in the exhaust sytem. There are several Cat converters 4 I think on the escape, so how do I figure out which one is blocked? I cannot afford to spend another AUD$2000+ to replace the entire system, I am a disbaled pensioner and it's my only means of transport, nor can I afford to replace the car. Can anyone let me know as to what I can do to try and fix this problem.

Yes this could be the problem, because you are having backpressure, which is usually the cat, or worst case scenario, you may have a bent or stuck exhaust valve...But what you can do, is disonnect the cat., or the exhaust, and let it run...Now its going to be loud, but if you dont have that back pressure then you know its just the cat., but if you still have it, then you know it maybe a bent or stuck exhaust valve....
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for your hasty response. I will disconnect the exhaust and run it. Let's hope this will prove to be a faulty cat conv. "
