Your gas probably got laced or something. Did you buy just a dime? or did you buy a pound. Watch out where you get your gas, some dealers like to lace that **** you know.

If you have a code 20 it does not indicate a bad catalytic converter.

A code 20 (MIL 20) indicates a bad barometric pressure sensor in the ECU. Try a known good ECU and see if the code goes away.

Good luck.

I talked to SMSP about this awhile back. The CEL kept going of even after I reset the ECU. He told me to run a full tank with STP Regane fuel system cleaner. I could n't find any so I ran Redlines fuel cleaner. Reset the ECU halfway through the tank and it's never come back.

YOu could also try pouring used bong water into the tank. That might help
