Trouble code P0420 means: Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
After googling it is determined Code P0420 ( Catalytic converter effeciency below threshold)
The oxygen sensor on a 1999 Honda Civic is located on top of the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter is under the car.
Very carefully
There is one and it is before the catalytic converter.
No, it is illegal to remove a converter and besides the engine will not run right with the converter removed.
There is one before the catalytic converter where the 4 runners meet on the exhaust manifold. And the second one is after the catalytic converter.
probably the catalytic converter- or you child is smoking in the car
The primary oxygen sensor is located before the catalytic on most Hondas depending on the year. If your Honda has the catalytic converter integrated to the exhaust manifold then you should find it on the manifold just before the catalytic converter.
There should be one in the header and one more in the catalytic converter.
Plugged air filter? Plugged fuel filter? Plugged catalytic converter?
Check the heat shield on the catalytic converter
That would be the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter.
