Stop buying cheap sensors man the only ones that ever worked for me was the ones at Napa. My brother had a 98 Dodge dakota and his pcm went out and when it did he was like 3,000 miles from home and the truck did not even start.

So I just went out and bought the mopar cam sensor because it was closer than a napa store. It runs good so far, but we will see as time goes on.

Do you have an ohmmeter?

Pull the connectors on #7 and #8 fuel injectors, check the resistance. It should be at about 12 ohms, give or take 1.2 ohms at 68 degrees.

Check another for kicks.

P0420 1/1 Catalytic converter efficiency.

About your only hope is to take the truck out for a fast and long ride. You've got to get the catalyst HOT! It may help clean it out. Otherwise, replace.
