P0420 Catalytic below threshold Bank 1

What where the condition before replacing the catalytic convertor? When the ECM see a active rear 02 sensor , it see this as a insufficient catalytic convertor and codes a P0420. or P0430  if this was for Bank 2. All the sparkplug condition has to be inspected and note it condition, if there is a exhaust leak prior to the catalytic you can code a insufficient catalytic convertor.or you may just have another failed catalytic Catalytic does not fail that fast unless there is a misifre, a mechanical condition where the engine is burning oil to coolant seepage into the cylinders.
