Best Answer

Code PO420 is catalytic converter efficiency low bank 1, sensor1. You did not state as to the year,make and model of the car as well as the engine size. I am a member of IATN and the majority of there fixes was related to someone installing an AFTER MARKET converter. There is a big difference. I strongly suggest that you go to a repair shop with the proper equipment as well as a very good tech to diagnosis the problem.

I have a 2005 Impala as well.....I bought a code scanner when my check engine light came on....2 codes came up on the scanner...P0420 and P0420PD.....'catalyst below efficiency'....My car has 115,000 miles on it and it was time for annual safety/emissions inspection so I took it in to a shop.....The catalytic converter had gone bad and had to be replaced.....which was the reason for the P0420 code....
