Just wanted to share some good news about my recent experience with a PO420 "catalyst system" code and advice from Advance Auto Parts.
First of all, the technicians/salespeople at Advance came out and read the code in the parking lot, no complaints or hassles.
Then after he read the code, I asked "now what" ...I didn't want to replace a whole system or catalytic converter, I didn't even know where to start troubleshooting such a generic code.
The advance auto guru suggested a can of fuel-injection cleaner and reset the code.
So far-300 miles and the code has not re-appeared!
