What is the code?

that is a low efficency bank 1 catalyst code, basically you need a new catalytic convertor

O2 sensor at catalyst converter.

Exhaust Converter on Bank #1 side, is worn out,needs
to be replaced

PO420 &PO430 are Converters Below Efficiency

Should have lasted another year or two

I suspect you don't keep up on what the car
required,air filter,spark plugs,O2 Sensors & the like.

Your fuel trim & ignition issues over the years ruined it

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Code p0420 means Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). This will surely needs attention to resolve the problem.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

P0402: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1

The ECM or PCM monitors the switching frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 and 2. A three way catalyst converter(Manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2. As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2 switching frequency will increase. When the frequency ratio of heated oxygen sensors 1 and 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (Manifold) malfunction is diagnosed.



Possible Causes:
- Three way catalyst converter Bank 2
- Exhaust tube
- Intake air leaks
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Fuel injector leaks
- Spark plugs may be faulty
- Improper ignition timing
- Engine Control Module

Possible Solutions:
The most common cause is the three way catalyst converter Bank 1. Changing just the O2 sensor usually doesn't repair the problem.

sound like a injector problem

Replace the catalytic converter.

Your number 1 O2 sensor is bad replace it. this is the O2 sensor attached to your headers. Could be faulty sensor or the air/fuel ratio is offset. But replace the sensor its not running effeciently.
