Fuel Grade for 2001 CLK 320
I reside in US. Shortly after getting my used clk, I accidentally used 89 octane in lieu of premium, the check engine light came on. I checked fuel tank cover - not the issue. The mechanic said it was the catalytic converter, muffler shop changed pre-catalytic to straight pipe in that section - not the issue as computer was re-set, light went away overnight but came back.
Any other possibilities to check?
Thanks.

Check what code it is to find what area the problem is in.
As for replacing the pre-cat with a straight pipe...........bad move. Now you will definately get the engine light because the o2 sensors with recognise the cat as being inoperative (missing)
