Glad you found some cause ! We have been busy with family stuff the past few weeks, and I didn't have any time to spend, but a few minutes here and there!

All in, including DMV, gas, oil, paying off old loan, blah blah, gotta be pushing $3k.
Making it purty after smog, is probably going to be in the $500 range depending on how lucky or not I am with LKQ/PA'P. "If" I can sell for mid $3k, which by then will be a nice/clean running econo car I'll come out around flat. If I were in a different financial spot, I probably just would have eaten the $2k, but with business debt and now a non-trivial monthly nut to crack in helping to pay for my dad's assisted living, it's pretty much hand to mouth for now.

Your help has been vital in helping to identify, and just as importantly eliminate problems.

Well, it's an aftermarket, not stock and it should . . . but we'll find out.

Got a new front pipe today as I thought that's where an exhast leak was coming from. In taking it off I realized two bolts had come off the cat. (Magnaflow only sends nuts and bolts, no washers, lock washers.) So I thought, well, maybe that's where the exhaust leak was coming from and decide to run a bunch of water through the front pipe to see if it leaked from the flex section or anywhere else. Nope. So that's good news as I can send it back. I went to Home Depot and got new bolts, plus washers and lock nuts, and put it back together with some red loctite. Hopefully I don't have to take off the cat, cuz it might not be so easy now. At least the damn nuts should fall off.
Technically it's ready for a test. No MIL and there is only one DTC for the Catalyst. I hope to get the muffler on Saturday morning, slap it on and roll to have a diagnostic run done. If it's making it, run for reals and then the primary hurtle will be complete.
Curiously the downstream O2 is putting out different data than before. The upstream sweeps, but the downstream is pretty stable at around .6 - .7, instead of .1-.2. From what I've read this is either just fine or a little rich. Under load it pops up to .9, which indicates a bit rich as you'd expect. I suppose the computer is trying to tailor fuel trims. It still has <100 miles since lastcode reset after wiring adventure.
