Next day the SES light came on for the P0420, reset it and a week later it popped up again. Now it is a few days later, all monitors ready and no codes. Ugh.

I squeaked by my inspection, replaced my rear bank 1 O2 and a couple days later my car popped a stoner code (P0420). Reset the computer and drove it around long enough to have 6 monitors ready, the only one not ready was the catalyst but you can have 1 not ready and still pass...and pass I did. Just for fun, I checked after lunch (about an hour after I passed my inspection) to see if all were ready yet-showed 1 not ready (catalyst) and a pending P0420 code.

Oh boy...I think I am going to rip off those crap cats and just go with a header and a decent hi flow cat. Good justification for the purchase don't you think? Wheezy needs more power anyways- some lady in a G6 pontiac wouldn't let me pass her getting on the freeway...I had to acknowledge defeat.

I have the p0430 code right now, and apperently its the Bank 2 Downstream sensor thats faulty. I was thinkin of just replacing all the damn o2s sensors and then clearing the SES light and taking it from there. I am also gettin really ****ty gas mileage...20 bucks lasts me 2 days with only driving 130 miles, its ridiculous.

The FSM lists the following possible causes for P0420/0430 codes:
1. Warm up three way catalyst
2. Exhaust tube
3. Intake air leaks
4. Injectors
5. Injector leaks
6. Spark plugs
7. Improper ignition timing
Improper ignition timing would definitely affect your mileage, so would bad plugs, in addition to a clogged cat.
