My CEL Codes
I have a CEL on all the time cuz of no cat. When driving on vacation last week I was getting back on the highway and was in boost and my CEL blinked a few times. I let off the gas and slowed down but everything seemed to be fine so I continued to drive for the next 4hrs with no problems. A couple days later I stopped at an Advanced Auto Parts and had them read my CEL. Here's what it said...
DTC (Codes)
P0420
Catalyst Efficiency
Below Threshold
(Bank 1)
DTC Pending (Codes)
P0300
Random/Multiple
Cylinder
Misfire Detected
P0301
Cylinder 1
Misfire Detected
P0304
Cylinder 4
Misfire Detected
P0420
Catalyst Efficiency
Below Threshold
(Bank 1)
What does this mean? Is something wrong, need to be checked, or need to be replaced? I did have the CEL read about a week before I left for vacation and everything was fine except for the cat. Any thoughts?

Well I havent had this problem on my Turbo tC but last week on my beater car I got the same codes. Turned out to be alittle water got in my gas tank. I'm not telling you should try this but a bottle of HEET took care of that problem.
