Hello all, Pls my Toyota matrix 06 consumes fuel a little bit more than normal. I replaced d air intake filter, clean the throttle body with cab cleaner, welds exhaust leaks, already bought original NGK spark plugs but yet to replaced, gas cap not clicking after lock, already ordered a new one but yet to arrive. I did a scan & d following code popped up: P0420, P0441 & P0128. Which of these is d real culprit & How do i eliminate them? Pls i need help, i bought this car specifically because of fuel economy. |

Dez10: That is one deadly code to have, its a catalyst code, not always mean your CAT is bad, might be 02sensors.but doesn’t mean it will be affecting the fuel.... the culprit there should be the 128 cos dem fit don comot your thermostat like that... Holllup Hollup..... Was the scan result after the exhaust weld or before ?? If it’s after, our brothers fit don touch your CAT  If it’s before, check upstream and downstream sensors on the CAT and the CAT. |

The scan was actually d first thing i did before going to d panel to weld. The car actually drives very well just d fuel consumption is my headache. Maybe i will need to confirm d functionality of my temperature sensor & probably replace. I will also replace d plugs & re scan to see if d codes will clear. |

a list of things could cause your vehicle to throw up this code p0420, ranging from a bad 02 sensor to a bad catalytic converter if it a bad 02 sensor it will give false readings or a faulty 02 sensor wire harness, if it a clogged catalytic converter you should be experiencing loss of power from your car, now for fuel consumption it might be a your vehicle computer not knowing when your vehicle is at optimum temperature causing your vehicle too run rich (to much fuel less air) now this is where the other code p0128 is linked to the p0420, p0128 is indicating thermostat malfunction, u might have a stuck open thermostat not allowing your vehicle get to optimum temperature or ect sensor giving wrong values or it bad |
