QUESTION: Hi again just want to ask you what do I do with this problems. Do I replace the H20 sensor and the catalyctic converter? What about the EVAP system fault? Thank you.

Answer
Hubadna,
With the HO2S code I would replace both fornt and rear with factory not after market sensors. Do an intake injector cleaning with chemicals and see if the cat cleans up abd restores some efficiency. Test the evap system for leaks bad valve, broke hoses, bad evap solenoid. When all that is done see what the reading out of the tail pipe are. Will it pass emissions? Drive the car a couple of cycles see if the EVAP works.
