Ok so my check engine light came on after i changed my clutch
it had p1166 n p1167
i changed both o2 sensors and only p1167 was left
today i changed my sencondary o2 sensor with a new denso replacement cleared the codes and the check engine light came back on
i dont kno what to do anymore
its burning gas like crazy and the only thing left is to change the cat
any ideas before i do this
i dont want to change the cat and the stupid check engine light doesnt go away
anyone pls i need help!!!

if it truly was the cat and you have a working secondary 02 sensor then it should have a P0420 code which is cat inefficiency.

I think your problem might lie elsewhere...but you can use a cheap defouler to bypass the secondary o2 readings and see if it really is the cat.

what else would cause p1167 other than o2 sensors and the cat?
