Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.
You say you 'changed the spark pug' (singular), did you only change one? When one fails, the rest are going to follow.
Your O2 Sensor and O2 Heater are probably the same sensor that is failing. When they fail and are running lean, they dump fuel and that soots up the Catalytic Converter, so there is your other code. Replace the sensor that is causing the issue and run some Extreme Clean Catalytic Converter Cleaner in the fuel. You might need two treatments.
this is the o2 sensor after the pre cat so post cat you can get a tune to get rid of code or replace the o2 sensor or get spacer that screws into the cat witch will make it not code the o2 sensor is there to just make sure the cat is there for emissions and will not effect the gas milage
P0430 is a catalyst efficiency code. If there are no leaks in the exhaust or any vacuum leaks that could affect O2 sensor operation and the O2 sensors are working properly then it's possible that you need a catalytic converter. If you have access to a scanner capable of reading live data plug it in and take the vehicle on the high way at a steady 55-60 mph. The O2 sensor should read somewhere around 700 mv give or take but should not fluctuate to much. If it does you need a catalyst bank #2. Good luck!
P0430 means you have trouble to emission. most likely at catalytic and 02 sensor, replacing plugs might help if it is not been replace for a while about 70k miles this might help your idling. if you have access to scanner check fuel short trim a higher trim indicate fault at upstream 02 sensors.
P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2. The most common cause it the three way catalyst converter Bank 2. Common Problems That Trigger the P0430 Code
Hi,
You need to have the fuel pressure checked, if this is ok you then need to check the valve clearances and once this is done then have the DTC rechecked.
If the P0172 code comes back then you need to check injector pulse timing and then replace the faulty injector.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks
Code P0430 - For Continuous Memory Only -- Check for missfire detection monitor (dtc) -- Bank 2 catalyst system effciency is below acceptable threshold -- possible causes are
-Faulty HO2S
-Faulty ETC sensor
- High Fuel Pressure
- Damaged exhaust components
- Oil Contamination
- Cylinder Missfire
- Downstream O2 sensor improperly connected
- Retarted Spark Timing
Most times the problem is the Downstream O2 sensor is defective
