Default 97 Stratus with Check engine light on

Had the car scanned,came up with a po 430 code( catalytic converter effientency). Car has all kinds of power. Deleted the code and light was off for maybe a day, them came back on. Could it be one of the two O2 sensors, or both? Light is driving me crazy[:@]

O2 sensor or catalytic converter probably. replacing those seems like it'd make sense to me. Is your gas mileage affected?

Cat's aren't the cheapest of parts when they're OEM. Often performance is cheaper, but alot of places that are regular exhaust shops charge you MORE to install something thats high performance, than something OEM. Theres also universal Cats that muffler/exhaust places sometimes use, which aren't always the best, but they do it anyways. If its a 2.5 inlet 2.5 outlet cat, they'll stick anything with that I and O on there. Idiots. They did it to my brother once with his ram. But heres some links for pricing.

See here:

If you get it OEM/Uni its cheap to install, usually less than $50 around here. Unless you know how to weld then your all set
