Diagnosing Cats
2000 Ford F150; 4.6 V-8;
I have read that the following information obtained from an OBDII Scan Tool will tell you which Cat is history.... Unfortunately I do not know how to decipher it. Can you guys help me?
P0420
Fuel Sys 1 CL
Fuel Sys 2 NA
Calc Load(%) 57.6
ECT ('F) 198
STFT B1 (%) 1.6
LTFT B1 (%) 7.0
STFT B2 (%) -0.8
LIFT B2 (%) 4.7
Veh Speed (mph) 43
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
P.S. This truck also has code P0401 thrown. Early in the AM I am going to pull the upper plenum off to clean the EGR ports. I also read on this forum that the clogged EGR port could be causing the Cat code to throw. Is there any truth to that??
Thanks again!
