    I have a 99 Tacoma 2.7l 4x4 and I keep getting the p0420 catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 1.
    I have replaced
    -both oxygen sensors
    -coolant temp sensor
    -all exhaust gaskets
    I have had this problem for over a year now. It only comes on when I go on a long drive 30 miles plus. Could this be egr valve or bad converter? I don't think the converter is clogged any help would be appreciated

    I had an exhaust leak at the flange when I got that code. Cut the bolts off, replace the gasket, new bolts
