ahh. don't wry nothing serious. the last 4 codes all point to ur bank 1 02 sensors. the 1st 2 needs techbod. now clear those codes and see if they come back. the 02 sensor ones most likely will. u'll need to change the front one first. also get under ur car and rap the cat with ur knuckles. if u hear clinking sounds, ur cat is bad. hopefully it's the 02 sensor cuz it's much cheaper. ebay has sensor 1 for like 20 sumthing but u gotta splice it, which is cake. im not sure if the rear one is the same but it could be.

do you have a breaking problem?? P1425 is a wiring fault to the EVAP canister purge valve the other codes lead to a vacuum leak

Yeah I cleared them all and thats what ended up coming back. There better not be anything wrong with the cat it is only 3 months old.

So you are saying i need to replace the o2 sensors on the cat. I wont have to remove the cat to do so will I cuz that thing is a b****?

Second I am going to the mountains again tomorrow which over a 100 mile drive. Do you think I will be okay drving it?

And what is this techbod thing. Could you explain again what the first two codes are?

P1472 is none existent on engine faults so not going to guess ( how high are you driving ) it could be the baro sensor and not calibrated to the height your going so when you come down the code is on

the baro sensor is fitted to cars in different countries due to sea level night, just thought you might need to know that

edit: height not night but it looks good

personally I think you have a breaking problem, the baro sensor is on all cars depending on where they are bound and depends on pressure due to sea level ( the higher you go the less air ) baro = barometer or pressure and the higher you go the less you have
