i have had a p0420 code coming on for a few weeks now, i had my mechanic look at it and he replaced the cat, all 3 o2 sensors, oem muffler and sealed an exhaust leak before the cat.... it was fine for about a week and now the check engine light comes on every couple days and its giving me the same trouble code on my handheld scan tool...... where do i need to go from here so that i can get the car to pass inspection..... it runs fine no trouble at all... just need to pass the obd II part of the inspection... help please!!!

i have a 99 v6 camaro and my chek engn light is on too all the time.most likely ur computer is reading multiple miss fires and sometimes u wont feel those missfire but those cars do it.those cars r tipical to do multiple missfires ,nothing wrong with the car its just the way chevy posisioned the spark plugs that makes these missfires and they always will do m sometimes.u cannot fix that.just keep up ur ur tune ups and before u get ur car smogged erase the check engine light off with a scanner and get it smogged.go to autozone and borrow a good scanner they have loaners and read what it tells u.most likely it will say multiple missfires .dont worry its ok.just erase the light and smogg it .
