99% of the time P0420 means the cat is bad. It's possible that the post-cat O2 sensor is bad but it's rare.
BTW, cat. converters should be covered for either 7yr/70,000 miles or 8yr/80,000 miles depending on where you live. Take it to a Pontiac dealer (it has to be Pontiac)and you might get a free cat.Dan<br />1990 RS 170,000 miles<br />3.4L collecting dust<br />700R4-to-T5 swap completed on Dec. 13, 2002Comment
