Default Emission Funny

My check engine linght was on for few reasons but i changed my coolant temp sensor and cleared the code it was fine for like 100 miles didnt go on anymore then i went did my emission test and passed it hour later the engine light went back on. hehehe lucky my.
the comp readin now it's sayin
CATALYIC CONV. BELOW TRASH HOLD - TO REPLACE IT $900.00 JUST FOR THE PART
OR IT MIGHT BE THE O2 SENSOR - there are 2 of them each cost about 150. and the comp wont tell exactly which one it is
OR COMP MODULUS IS MAULFUNCTIONING - about 250

what would you guys do in my place.

could be a sticking coolant thermostat since it went off after you changed the coolant temp sensor, not a lot to change that then see how it goes ( clear the codes again of course )

I just got 2 o2 sensors for $80 total. just search untill you find generic ones that come without the wireing harness, then just solder them onto your old harnesses. cheaper than $900, and doesn't hurt either.

hmmm I would check for fault codes first before wasting money on O2 sensors and cats this would at least try to pinpoint the problem better
