Thanks for the question RO. I cannot recall the exact number of the code, but this has been my experience, in the event it may be helpful to others. I believe a failure of one or both O2 sensors cause a rich fuel mixture, which then ruined the CAT. The exhaust system had excessive back pressure with the CAT being plugged. I replaced the downpipe/CAT unit as well as both O2 sensors, with OE Bosch sensors and a Davico CAT unit. Not terribly hard to swallow since I performed the surgery myself, it's not brain surgery for anyone with basic skills. My mixed MPG's went from 22-23 to 25-26, which is what we should expect. See you down the road. Thanks again.
