View Full Version : P0420
My TB is now giving a P0420 code. Can someone help me out on this one? Im not sure where to start on this. Just had it to the dealership and had a fan clutch replaced and now I am getting this code. It has had 2 O2 sensors, MAP sensor, new plugs and boots, new fuel filter and fuel pump, throttle body cleaned and now this. It is still surging and losing power at times. At a loss as what to do next. Please help.:confused:

Have u had the cat removed? If not, it might be plugged or some what plugged.
