I have a 2000 I30 Infinity, 51,000 miles. The service light is on and the trouble code is PO420, I have cleared the code, but the light comes back on. I understand the code is for catalst system efficiency below thresold (bank 1). What should I do or check first. I do most of the mechanicial work on my cars.

If the downstream sensor from the cat is good, it will need a new cat

How do I check if the sensor is bad. I have cleared the code and the light goes out for a few days but then comes back.

An O2 sensor would definitly be the least expensive of the two.I would replace the sensor just to eliminate it as a possibility
