Awhile back I had my engine light go on, I got it checked and what showed was a "P0141". Now a couple of days ago I got it replaced and the mechanic told me that it was clean nothing was wrong with it, he cleared the comp, but the light came back on. This came on when I hit a small snow bank back during the winter storm. Any ideas like where to check if I have a bad sensor or wire or some-sort?

You never know. Try and get the code if it comes back.
Light has been coming off and on every couple weeks. Pulled the code again today...same P0420.
I might try replacing the secondary O2 sensor....but there are specific codes for that (P0137,P0138, P0141).
I also have the defoulers sitting on my desk....

When I got that code, I replaced the secondary O2 sensor and cleared the code. Nothing has come back since. Granted, I'm still running the OEM cat but that should give a bit of help.

The P0420 code is low catalyst efficiency. If you haven't installed the defouler, try that first. It's less expensive than a sensor.

Like others have said, I would first install the defoulers, but I would also suspect a weak O2 sensor to be the true culprit.

Yeah, a new sensor is like $60.

I suppose I would like to fix the root of the problem rather than masking it with defoulers. However, from what I understand the secondary O2 sensor is only responsible for emissions and has no effect on engine performance, correct?

Yes, the secondary O2 sensors only job is to check for proper cat function.

I got some weird codes. P2185. P0135. P0498. P0102. I looked them up and know what they all mean, just don't know how to fix all them.

temp sensor, o2 sensor, evap canister, and maf need to be replaced it seems. holy shit that's a lot of $$ on sensors. did they all happen at once? I say start with the MAF (hopefully you can find one at a junkyard.)

Disconnect your battery for about 5-10 minutes (reset codes - but make sure you have your radio code) and see if all 4 come up again.

I'd reccomened doing them one at a time, and often you can test them. Sometimes one sensor can cause a bunch of codes.
