Code P0420/430
2008 Jeep Wrangler 175,000 miles just threw the code about 10 days ago. Cleared code. week later came back. Question is should I replace the oxygen sensors or just get new cats put on. I did have a misfire November of 2017 which had the 1 and 2 fuel injectors replaced. And for clarification that code signifies driver side oxygen sensors??
I have a 2007 JK with 91,000+ miles. I replace all 4 oxygen sensors and the code still comes back. I have the same code which is the drivers' side. I plan on replace my driver's side exhaust manifold, first, this summer (already purchase). Some people have had success doing the manifold replacement because of crack issue. I have two broken bolts, so I'm hoping this might be my issue. If this doesn't work, I guess I will replace the catalytic converters. I tried different additives, i.e. catalytic cleaners, but it only helped for a little while, before the code raised it's ugly head again! I found several sources on eBay for catalytic replacements which are reasonable cost wise, $235-254 range.
I replaced all four sensors when I had that code--perhaps about 225,000 miles. Did not clear code for good. Replaced cats, code gone. At 175,000 miles, I'd say just replace all of it and be done with it.
