What does a wheel alignment do?

Straightens the camber and toe-out/toe-in of the wheels so the car doesn't pull to one side or the other when going down the road. This also promotes better tire wear, as wheels that are out of alignment (all pointing the same way) will cause excessive tire wear either on the inside or the outside of the tread.

What do you replace to fix error code P0420 on 1997 fire bird 3.8l v6?

I'm having the same problem right now, I scanned the car and got the same code po420 (catalytic efficiency below threshold bank 1) it's usually the catalytic converter, but it can also be a oxygen sensor. usually if its the cat converter your car is really sluggish and doesn't have much power, also the floor under the passenger seat gets warm because the cat converter gets really hot and its located in that area under the car. If the car isn't losing power I would check the oxygen sensor after the cat converter and see if that fixes your problem. Good luck.
