    Sounds like your front o2 is bad.

    So is that up stream or downstream? And both the codes are o2 sensors so the second o2 is for my cat right?

    Upstream. The p0420 code is for the cat.

    So my cat could be clogged or could the sensor be bad?

    If you listed the names for the codes, we could probably easily tell you if it's an O2 or not.

    When you list codes, please ... list the name.
