sounds more like the sensor after the cat that is needed to be replaced or.. first try to use higher octane and you also need to maintain a certain speed on the freeway for all sensors to read properly .. stop and go wont do it... but what i usually do is.. with that amount of miles already done i just do a full reset on the ECu and drive on the freeway and try to maintain speed i think its 55-65 mph for like 7 miles
