Engine Check

This may not be exactly right for your application as it is actually in the manual for the Toyota, but it could serve as a starting point if nothing else:

P0420:

System detected: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold

Possible Trouble Areas:

1. 3-Way Cat. Converter Problem

2. Ophen/Short HO2S Circuit

3. HO2S Failure

Hope this helps.

this may sound silly, but check you gas cap & be sure that it is tight, if it isn't or the seal is worn, it could cause the check engine light to come on...

If your cat is not functioning properly it is probably caused by something like carbon build up.

What gas are you using?

Also find a local motorvac or terra fuel place that does high pressure fuel injection cleaning.
