Hey everyone. Like the title says I got that code immediately after passing emissions and inspection. What are the odds of that? Exhaust has been louder than usual lately though but no obvious performance loss. Is it possible the shop bumped something loose that I could check or is it just coincidental timing and my cat is bad.

EVAP system could actually have a problem, or the oxygen sensors on either side of the cat are bad. I highly doubt that the cat is bad.

At least it happened right after the inspection. Haha

#-o Ummm, no. The P0420 is almost always a bad cat.

Thanks guys. The exhaust is really rattling in the area of the cat so I'm thinking the crap came loose inside. Just crazy how it threw the code day after inspection.

the pcm gets cat info directly from the O2 sensor near the cat - get that checked out first.
