dont ignore it. what if something else happens that could set off the check engine light? you wouldnt know it because you are so used to it being on. and, you will fail every inspection.

i think he meant hot as in after it ran for a while the cat was too hot to be looked at.

Well, what was the code?

If you didn't get someone to read the code, then you actually have no idea whether it has anything to do with the cat.
