    Ok guys I have been having some issues with my car bogging down while idling. My service engine light has been on for a while because of a bad cat, but i don't have to do emissions and I didn't notice a drop in mpg so i haven't fixed it. But since my car started bogging down while idling i figured it would be a good idea to rescan my car. I now have 3 different codes. I have a cylinder 4 misfire, P0135(O2S heater ckt malfunction 1/1), and P0420 (Catalytic converter efficiency below threshold (bank1)). I figured its probably just my cat, so I bought a new one but haven't installed it yet. Is there anything else I should get, like a new upstream 02 sensor, or is there something else I should try before I install my cat?

    I did that and I know what they mean but I couldn't find anything about a combination of all 3 of my codes. So i wanted to see if anyone knew if there was something special that would trigger all 3 codes.

    Likely your O2 went bad, sent the cat to it's death and now it's clogged it causing the misfire.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Keep in mind your cat is likely clogged and needs to be replaced.

    I assumed that Cam, just want to make sure he's not installing a plug or something on the misfire code or both O2's.
