I want to thank you all for helping me out on this one. The last thing I did was a simple and less than $7 fix vs. the prescribed dealer price of $1800 for a new cat (even though I found a 400 cell after market for $450 delivered).

After switching the O2 sensors from one side to the other and still getting the same pesky P0430 code, my next step was to clean the MAF sensor.

Very simple process. I had forgoteen to buy the right Torx tool and therefore used a vise grip to remove the two screws. Only cost was some time and the bottle of electronic cleaner I picked up at the local auto parts store.

Have run the car over 300 miles without check engine light coming back on. Went to get emmisions done today and passed!

Perfect and thanks again.
