These are all transient symptoms, so I would not panic.
What I would suggest is putting in a tank of premium and fuel dryer.
A little water or cheap low octane gas can cause these symptoms.

If it happens again, a second try would be plug wires, because crossover in the wires will also do it.
Reducing plug gap will also make problems like this less noticeable.
You can go as low as .028".

Start with the cheap tries first, then worry about the more expensive things.

I have a 05 Ford Taurus. 3.0 liter. Failing Emmision with the p420 and p430 codes. How many O2 sensors do they have and code that be the issue?

It actually has 4, O2 sensors. One just below where the exhaust manifolds bolt to the exhaust system then one just in front of the convertor and one right after it. The reading for a PO420 and PO430 is low efficiency at bank 1 and 2
which could also be a bad convertor. However, the sensors are cheaper.

What does a ******** Catalyst(TWC) system, low efficency service code mean? and where is it located

Exhaust Converter on Bank #1 side, is worn out,needs
to be replaced

PO420 &PO430 are Converters Below Efficiency

Should have lasted another year or two

I suspect you don't keep up on what the car
required,air filter,spark plugs,O2 Sensors & the like.

Your fuel trim & ignition issues over the years ruined it

I have a po430 code bank 2 what 02 sensor is it?

P0430 is a catalytic converter inefficiency code for bank 2.

You didn't list a year make and model but I do see you have a GM. It is not an O2 sensor. It is the catalytic converter. You can confirm this by watching O2 data with scan tool. If the downstream O2 sensor switches simular to the upstream than the Cat is no longer doing its job.

Bank 1 always refers to the same side of the engine as the number 1 cylinder. Bank 2 is the opposite side. again without a year make and model that is about as detailed as I can get.

Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for using fixya.com.

Po420 bank 1 and po430 bank 2 error codes

sounds like O2 sensors to me. I havent changed one on a mustang yet but I havent had any trouble with any others that I have done, they screw in like a spark plug but you will need a special tool, I hope this helps you.

How do i fix code po420 & po430 on 2003 jaguar

Both these codes relate to Catalyst efficiency below threshold on banks 1+2. This is normally caused by a combustion fault. This fault may be shown due to a faulty sensor in either air imput or exhaust systems, Get the memory read at a dealers or good garage. If you had a serious problem the car would not drive well.
Hope this helps - good luck.
