1998 Chevrolet Cavalier 0420 Code
Here is something from a reference guide that we follow at my shop, hope it helps.
When diagnosing a PCM code PO420, be sure to determine the cause of the converter failure. Converters are not likely to fail without an external cause. Typical causes are: fuel pressure regulator leak, engine misfire, dirty fuel injectors, coolant consumption, etc. Also, be aware that some converters on the market will cause this code or codes due to a lack of oxygen storage capacity. A component that must be in these converters, Cerium, is required to store, then slowly release oxygen.
