Hello Everyone!
I'm one of those long time lurkers! And would like to thank everyone who unkowningly has helped me greatly in the past!
I've got a 1997 Explorer Eddie Bauer with 5.0L V8 with 117,000 miles. The other day my Check Engine light came so I took it to Autozone and got the code:
430 - Catalyst System Efficiency is below threshold (Bank 2)
The guy at autozone fiqured it was a O2 sensor and from everything I have seen in the forums regarding 420 code (haven't found any mention of 430) I would guess it's the O2 sensor as well. I have no other problems, truck runs fine. Gas milage has dropped from 18 miles/gallon to 16 in the past couple months which I attributed to needing a tune-up which I plan on doing next week.
Think this is just a O2 sensor? What else should I check? I didn't have the guy at AutoZone reset the code, should I reset it by disconnecting the battery and see if it comes back or am I just asking for more trouble?
Thanks!
