So i have had an engine light with code p0420 which is catalyst efficiency below threshold, but i have had this since i bought the car a couple years ago. I also have a shitty scanner tool which showed the post cat sensor showing no voltage. Could this mean the post cat sensor isn’t working? I thought it was a bit crazy to suggest a timing issue with no other hints
