With new cat and new o2 sensor
SOURCE: O2 sensor problem
I have a 97 gmc sierra .This truck is the same as the chevy ok.Its a 350 5.7 liter 4x4 Z71.I took it to auto zone which was my first mistake.They put it the scanner and said bad O2 sensor.Ok so which one is it i said.They dont know.Well there four (4) O2 sensors in this truck i hope you know that.I had to replace all four of them before i had to take it to a real shop.It seems the fuel pump i replaced a week earlier with an auto zone fuel pump was bad.Ive changed my feul pump 4 times now and have 235000 miles on still running.You need to get your fuel pressure checked.It should be 65 psi to start it and 55 psi to run it.If the pressures are good it could be a different O2 sensor or maybe the mass air flow senor.My last option would be the fuel pressure regulator because it seems to be a waste of time and money.I would get that fuel pressue checked first.Good luck.

from what i am finding the code means o2 sensors. they recommend replacing them and if this does not work than replacing the cat converter
The catalytic converter has an oxygen sensor
in front and behind it. When the
vehicle is warm and running in closed loop mode, the upstream oxygen sensor
waveform reading should fluctuate. The downstream O2 sensor reading should be
fairly steady. Typically the P0420 code triggers the Check Engine Light if the
readings of the two sensors are similar. This is indicative of (among other
things) a converter that is not working as efficiently as it should be (according
to specs). It is part of the vehicle emissions
system.
causes
A code P0420 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
possible soloutions
Some suggested steps for troubleshooting a P0420 code include:
One thing to note is that many vehicle manufacturers offer a longer warranty
on emissions-related parts. So if you have a newer car but it's out of it's
bumper-to-bumper warranty, there still may be warranty on this type of problem.
Many manufacturers give a five year, unlimited mileage warranty on these items.
It's worth checking into.

Depending on the engine it will have between 4 and 2.
If you had a straight 4 or 6 engine then there would be only 2, one on the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe and then one just after the catalytic converter.
If you have a "V" engine (V8, V6) then you have an oxygen sensor on each exhaust manifold and will have a catalytic converter for each bank of the V. There will also be an oxygen sensor downstream of each converter as well. In this case there would be 4 oxygen sensors.
SOURCE: po430 code keeps coming back what is the fix an o2
this code in most cases is caused by a worn out catalytic converter, cats last about 100,000 miles on average

It is the o2 sensor itself replace 02 sensor. Keep in mind you have four of them. the computer will tell you which one has the fault example. bank 1 sensor 2 If I can help anymore please repost with engine size I will be happy to help DRIVE SAFE TIM
