Right you are JFP. That was a hip shot from memory and I didn't look it up. My bad.

P0445 was resolved with a fresh gas cap but a periodic P0430 is indeed a poor functioning cat. I managed to clear it out some with a bottle of techron and a spirited drive so it would still pass smog but the code reappeared 6 months later. The long term fix is to replace the failed cat.
