Bad news guys, well for me
On my way back home from work the Damn light came back on. So once I got home I got my code reader and I am getting P0420.
Looks like I am still going to have to buy a CAT.. So I guess I will start saving up for it.

Clear the code and see if it comes back.

There are a lot of things I'd try before buying the cat!

I will clear it tonight. But can you list the thing that i could do solve it.
I have already removed the CAT and left it over night in a bucket of soapy water TWICE.... and P0420 keeps coming back.

So I was planning to clear the code when getting home, but just before arriving home from my 30 min commute the light went away.
Now its going back to its old habbits, it goes on an off when it chooses.

You should just monitor it and see what happens.
Which sensor did you replace again? The primary O2 (a/f) sensor before the cat, or the O2 sensor after the cat?

Okay. Just making sure. The P0141 code hasn't returned, but the P0420 has?
There are really only 2 options. Since you live in CA, one option may be considered
illegal
, but it's inexpensive. That would be to get one of those O2 sensor spacer/restrictors. If they do a visual inspection of your exhaust, then you probably won't get away with using one. The other option is a replacement cat. I believe Magnaflow sells one that's around $100-150.

the key to getting away with the spacer is to spray your exhaust black so it all matches. The shiny spot is always a dead give away.
