SOURCE: check engine light on;engine codes p0420 and p0773

I looked up the codes you posted.
P0420 is showing a bad oxygen sensor on bank #1, the one down by the catalytic converter.
P0773 is an electrical problem with the shift solenoid E.
A bad oxygen sensor would cause lower fuel milage.

SOURCE: P0420 and check engine light

A p0420 code is set when the computer determines that the catalytic converter isn't doing it's job. In almost all instances that code can't set as a result of a bad o2 sensor so they probably didn't have to be replaced. The catalytic converter will need to be replaced, prefferably by an oem part. This can be pretty expensive and should be considered before purchasing the vehicle.

I have replaced a few bad converters on late model subarus in the past few years.

My 2005 chevy equinox keeps showing problem code P0420 How do I fix this problem?

0 2 sensor near the catalytic converter or

replace the catalytic converter

The downstream O2 sensor reading should be fairly steady. Typically the P0420 code triggers the Check Engine Light if the readings of the two sensors are similar.

I have a saab 93 2002 with engine codes,p1110,p1312 and p1334 showing can anyone please tell me what they mean!

CODES P1312 AND P1334 These codes are related to the DI Module. Check the DI Module. Replace it if needed and clear the codes.

CODES P1110 Code P1110 is related to the Turbo Bypass Valve, check the vacuum lines at the Bypass Valve and especially at a vacuum sensor mounted on the firewall driver's side. The lines become loose with age and will pop off or can become disconnected when someone is reaching behind the for other reasons.

Failed smog: P1334 code only (no P1230)

If this is a SAAB the DI cassette needs replacement. Easy fix but the part is high. Use only OEM part as the cheap stuff does not work. Plugs are under this unit so good time to replace them also.

Code P0420

P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

There is one 02 sensor in front of the catalytic converter (called upstream), and one behind it (downstream). When the engine is warmed up and running normally the upstream oxygen sensor reading fluctuates and the downstream one is fairly steady. In the case where both readings are fairly steady, a P0420 check engine light code is set.

Possible Causes:
Oxygen (O2) sensor not working correctly
Damaged or leaking exhuast (pipe, manifold, catalytic converter)
Damaged catalytic converter
