RE: have a new code... p0420?????
I have changed the o2 sensors in my wife 98 contour (major PITA). This shouldnt be a problem on my Stratus. Much easier to get to. Just wondering if its the upstream or downstream sensor. If my thinking is right bank one on the 4 cyl should refer to the upstream sensor..

So does that mean the o2 sensor is bad or the catalytic converter?

You should get a o2 sensor code if it was one of them though.

sorry yall I had the wrong code.
I have an update. I pulled the code again when I got off work. I must have had a brain fart when I was typing this thread last night because the code I have is p0442 not p0420..... Well there you have 16 hour days and very little sleep will make you confuse the numbers.. Code p0442 has to do with the fuel evap system. I just bought the car and noticed that the gas cap is not original and the original is in the trunk. I am going to buy a new one and see if that solves the problem. If not I will will start trouble shooting farther.

p0442
That would be a good place to start. OEM fuel caps are designed to seal system the way it was meant to be. Make sure you get an OEM cap, not a generic one.
There ya have it, I think you just set a 420 code yourself.
