Disco, what the code that you got essentially says is that your cat is not able to reburn the exhaust sufficiently to get rid of any CO and unburnt fuel. It knows this by the amount of O2 in the exhaust downstream of the cat (a small amount is injected into the exhaust system upstream of the cat and is allowed to burn inside the cat to get rid of any fuel and CO).

HOw many miles are on the car? It may be possible that you have a bad cat. It may be possible you have an exhaust leak. Could even be you have a bad O2 sensor. Stopping by an exhaust shop may be worthwhile and explain to them what you are getting. But, I am placing money that they are going to tell you that you need a new cat. That will be their default statement.

disco where in canada are you? i have a scanner and will scan it for free if you ever need it done again.
you can buy a scanner at canadian tire for $50 when they go on sale then look the code up online. it pays itself off with 1 use....i think its actually on sale this week.
most places want $100-140 to have the code cleared and they dont usually know what it means....and they dont bother checking.
the 07 hemi dodge ram puts on the check engine light if you do a burn out....i had a rental this is to retard the engine and run in "safe mode" with less power.

Disco... I found an independant shop in Markham with Ex Master Jag techs, they're at 7 and McCowan, 905-554-4530 nvcustomsauto.com, I think they'll read your codes for free too and fix it far cheaper than the dealerships. Tell them Sakeena sent you and let me know if you contact them. Cheers
