Check engine light on?
#1
Check engine light on?
Have a 2003 Carlo 3.8 engine. 57000 miles.
Check engine light on, code P0420.
Replaced down stream 02 sensor for first try on repair.
Cleared code check engine light off, ran vehicle for 4 days to
reprogram, but check engine light came back on,
code P0420 came back.
Cat. shows good, would the next thing to try be the upstream 02 sensor?
Thanks! for any help.

Have replaced downstream O2 sensor after Cat.
Cat. is original and checks out OK. No leak in exhaust.
Could it be the upstream O2 sensor, by the manifold?

the 02 sensor wires could be damaged. or the sensor could have just simply killed over. i had my hubby replace my o2 sensors cpl years ago and after he changed them i had more codes than what we started with so i was forced to put one of the old 02 sensors back in and the codes went away. there was something wrong with that sensor. could be your problem. usually the upstream wont have anything to do with that p0420 code tho. and if you ran it for 4 days with no trouble, then it came back...i would look into that sensor again.
