    I'm new but guess no one will help....

    Fixed!!! OK, I replaced the actuator and FINALLY the heat went off and the blast furnace is off. I went thru the suggested setup routine for a new actuator install, and it went pretty good. I watched the actuator when going from coolest to warmest settings, and the actuator seems to be a little...

    OK, I'm going to get an actuator. Then maybe later you guys can help me with some of those codes. I've been chasing the PO420 for awhile, I'll tell you what I've tried. First, got to stop the blast furnace in this car. Thanks again for the help...

    Code P0420

    So I take one "upstream" sensor out at a time, but do you just leave the hole open or do you have to find a plug to put in it? I also thought about moving both left side sensors to the right side and see if I get 0430. I think that code is the same faults, but on right side bank. I have been...

    Code P0420

    I just joined the forum today. So, I'm sure this has been discussed but can someone please give me some help?? My 2000 Tahoe with 5.3 engine is running rough at idle, sometimes dies. The code scanned was P0420 and the print out gave me several possibilities. The codes were reset two weeks ago...
