p0420..catalyst below def. bank 1.... if you have not changed your spark plugs and gotten new wires this sounds like your problem. esp if your vehicle isn't bogging down or showing signs of restricted air flow and no back pressure.....converters very seldom go bad in the fords. a slight misfire can cause the 02 sensor to read a deficiancy in the converter without ever throwing a misfire code which would look like p03XX
new plugs and wires!

You tune to adjust fuel trims and trans tables . Most canned tunes come with 3 - Economy, Towing and Performance. When you start throwing mods on the motor , there comes a time where Data Logging is required in order to dial her in correctly. That's about all I can tell yuh - I need to read up on that as well.

Bank 1 is passanger side. You will have to remove the passanger side tire for better access. My removal trick is. With Exhaust hot, spray PB-Blaster on threads where it threads into the exhaust pipe "bung". It will stink and burn off but no worries. Let the engine cool down and respray the threads and bung area again with the PB-Blaster. Let it sit over night if you can. The next morning, one more shot of the PB-Blaster and remove the O2. To date this proceedure has never allowed me to run into a problem. Believe it or not, I have gotten all O2's out with an open-end wrench. Still waiting for one that gives me a hard time, then I will have to buy the special O2 socket.
Good luck with the work,

PB-Blaster is an aerosol lubricant (and a whole lot more.) Think WD-40 on steroids. Only thing I've ever found better was Kroil (not sure about the spelling), used to use it as a cutting oil on hard jobs when I worked in a machine shop. Greatest stuff I've ever seen--hardly dull a bit or a saw blade, much less break it. Don't know if they make Kroil anymore--don't remember seeing it sold at the retail level anyway. But PB-Blaster's pretty good stuff. Should be able to find it at any discount parts store (Autozone, etc...), if not someplace like NAPA should have it.
