I am trying to find the source of a long interval (two weeks between CEL) recurring P0420 code. No other code is displayed so the WIS says to repalce the catalytic converter. Converter is a Magnaflow and only 45,000 miles old, both O2 sensors are only 45,000 miles old, MAF is factory original with ~290K miles of use.
I can get a new Saab brand MAF for just under $250 if I am willing to wait for a slow boat from North Carolina to deliver it, but I don't want to start randomly replacing expensive parts on an old car.
Based on age of current MAF it may be prudent to replace it anyway. What is their typical life expectancy?
Thanks.
