      Po420

      Hello all,
      I have Aveo 1.4 auto LS, previously i had an error code P0300 misfire. Went to workshop got it fixed by replacing the ignition module which is faulty.
      Soon after i've another error code P0420 so i did a diagnose by Torque app for oxygen sensor.
      Did a read up on the web P0420 is cause by catalytic converter not performing effeciently. My plan is to check for other possible cause before jumping into conclusion.

      Do need help & advice for possible causes and experience from other who ever encounter this problem.

      Below is a screen shot of my O2 sensor. Kindly advice.

      1st pic showing reading of warm up engine @ 2k to 2.5k rpm

      2nd pic showing reading at idle rpm

      Thank you in advance.

      Thread: p0420 code

      P0420 Error Code: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

      A code P0420 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

      •Leaded fuel was used where unleaded was called for
      •A damaged or failed oxygen sensor (HO2S)
      •Downstream oxygen sensor (HO2S) wiring damaged or connected improperly
      •The engine coolant temperature sensor is not working properly
      •Damaged or leaking exhaust manifold / catalytic converter / muffler / exhaust pipe
      •Retarded spark timing
      •The oxygen sensors in front and behind the converter are reporting too similar of readings
      •Leaking fuel injector or high fuel pressure
      •Cylinder misfire
      •Oil contamination
